Discussion:

The `atomic_exchange` and `atomic_exchange_explicit` functions seem to be inconsistently missing parameters.

Proposed resolution:

Add the appropriate parameters. For example,

>     bool atomic_exchange(volatile atomic_bool*, bool);
>     bool atomic_exchange_explicit(volatile atomic_bool*, bool, memory_order);
