/**
 * A {@link Counter} that is made to be used by a single writing thread.
 *
 * It makes use of the lazySet to provide a lower overhead than a volatile write on X86 systems. The volatile write requires
 * waiting for the store buffer to be drained which isn't needed for the lazySet.
 *
 * This counter does not provide padding to prevent false sharing.
 *
 * You might wonder why not use the AtomicLong.inc. The problem here is that AtomicLong requires a full fence, so there is
 * waiting for store and load buffers to be drained. This is more expensive.
 *
 * You might also wonder why not use the following:
 *  *     atomicLong.lazySet(atomicLong.get()+1)
 * 
 * This causes a lot of syntactic noise due to lack of abstraction. A counter.inc() gives a better clue what the intent is.
