// A flag which provides a fast check whether a scope may be entered on the
// current thread, without needing to access thread-local storage or mutex. Can
// have false positives (i.e., spuriously report that it might be entered), so
// it is expected that this will be used in tandem with a precise check that the
// scope is in fact entered on that thread.
//
// Example:
// g_frobnicating_flag.MightBeEntered() &&
// ThreadLocalFrobnicator().IsFrobnicating()
//
// Relaxed atomic operations are sufficient, since:
// - all accesses remain atomic
// - each thread must observe its own operations in order
// - no thread ever exits the flag more times than it enters (if used correctly)
// And so if a thread observes zero, it must be because it has observed an equal
// number of exits as entries.
