Sorry for this!

I think that'd be ok; I'd suggest `alternative_branch.h` if we do that...

... but this sounds slightly nicer to me. We already use
compiletime_assert_atomic_type() elsewhere, so we're already relying on
compiletime_assert(), and the diff looks simple enough:

... and seems to work in a local build test (with LLVM 14.0.0 and LTO_THIN).

If that sounds ok to you I can spin that as a patch shortly.

Thanks,
Mark.
