Meanwhile, Paul Sandoz is working to refactor these aspects, creating a large

VarHandles.
Yes, that's it. As i said i am all for it, but sensing disagreement thought it
might be best to hold off a bit. I don't wanna block if that disagreement is
resolved. In fact i wanna take a swing at some other aspects of Unsafe to clear
up the naming of putOrdered* as mooted in an email to hotspot-runtime.
I will defer to John's wisdom on this. These discussions burn a lot of
cycles with little concrete benefit to be gained.
