+class template for
+each character type\iref{basic.fundamental},
+each standard integer type, and
+any other types needed by the typedefs in the header \libheaderref{cstdint}.
 For each such type \tcode{\placeholder{integral-type}}, the specialization
 \tcode{atomic<\placeholder{integral-type}>} provides additional atomic operations appropriate to integral types.
