I get the feeling that those atomic operations are particularly
useful when transactions are not used cos they allow you to reduce to cache operations to

Precisely. I think the atomic ops should be documented such that they are not used within
a transaction scope, possibly either:
1) suspending any ongoing tx if used, or
2) throwing an illegal state exception if used within a tx scope
