      VarHandle has a weakCompareAndSet method with "plain" semantics.

      A compareAndSet cannot reliably be replaced with a weak variant on platforms that support LL/SC. See here for more details:

      http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jmm-dev/2016-April/000239.html

      A variant with "volatile" semantics should be added e.g. weakCompareAndSetVolatile.
