Right ... and we don't want to do that. Which is why I think we just
use blocking notifiers as they are but allow for creating atomic ones
which may use atomic update sites.
This is the solution I have in my tree ... it preserves existing
semantics because all the update and add sites are in user context, but
it allows for notifiers with purely atomic semantics and will do a
runtime warn if anyone tries to use them in a blocking fashion (or if
anyone adds an atomic update to an existing blocking notifier).
