I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. However, if one 
doesn't understand atomics well enough to correctly implement 
even a simple single-single queue, I'm not sure whether one would 
be able to correctly port an existing implementation either.

Then again, the primitives might be similar enough between C++11 
and D so that a literal translation is possible without 
understanding what is going on.
