Noncopyable types and implicit conversions

@Alejandro

@_staticExclusiveOnly isn't meant for any of this, it's meant to literally prevent users from declaring vars with a type that is static exclusive.

let isn’t static, so that name makes no sense.

If @_staticExclusiveOnly isn’t responsible for the address-only behavior of Atomic you described, what surface-level element of the language is?

@Alejandro

Atomic is an address type. When you pass a value of Atomic around, you pass a pointer to it, very similar to passing a reference around with classes.
