      Certain access mode methods have api notes stating compatible memory ordering effects with C++ atomics.

      Similar api notes can be added to other access mode methods:

      I agree with updates.

      But have more comments on C/C++ @apiNote-s. Would you like to address
      them in follow-ups? Notably, getVolatile may be also marked analogous to
      memory_order_seq_cst, and get/setOpaque may be marked analogous to C/C++
      "volatile"-s. And CAS/CAE memory semantics can also be spelled out in
      terms of std::memory_order.
