A couple of folks expressed concerns about this commit when it landed
in main due to it being too flexible (it allows you to store pointers
to non-pointer types, e.g.:

   char c;
   uintptr_t p;

   atomic_store_ptr(&c, p);

Silently becomes:

   atomic_store_char(&c, (char)p);

Are you planning to address this?
