Yes, so the programmers must be aware of this. In C++ only the 
unary -= and += are supported and -- and ++.

Is it possible to overload binary operators so that they cause an 
compiler error? In order achieve the same s = s + 1; you need to 
write.

s.store(s.load() + 1)

However, the assignment operator writing s = 1 is nice instead of 
s.store(1).
