-// To use Atomic::inc(jshort* dest) and Atomic::dec(jshort* dest), the address must be specially
-// aligned, such that (*dest) occupies the upper 16 bits of an aligned 32-bit word. The best way to
-// achieve is to place your short value next to another short value, which doesn't need atomic ops.
-//
-// Example
-//  ATOMIC_SHORT_PAIR(
-//    volatile short _refcount,  // needs atomic operation
-//    unsigned short _length     // number of UTF8 characters in the symbol (does not need atomic op)
-//  );
