Anyway, I've decided to stick with "cas" as "compare-and-store".


i really wish you wouldn't.  as an example, google gives:

	Results 1 - 10 of about 19,400 for "compare and swap" cas
	Results 1 - 10 of about 50 for "compare and store" cas

and infact there are only 22 results for the latter, and lot of
them are this thread.
