Atomic Boolean library for Go, optimized for performance yet simple to use.
Use this for cleaner code.
## Usage
```go
import "github.com/tevino/abool"
cond := abool.New() // default to false
cond.Set() // Set to true
cond.IsSet() // Returns true
cond.UnSet() // Set to false
cond.SetTo(any) // Set to whatever you want
cond.SetToIf(new, old) // Sets to `new` only if the Boolean matches the `old`, returns whether succeeded
cond.Toggle() // Inverts the boolean then returns the value before inverting
// embedding
type Foo struct {
cond *abool.AtomicBool // always use pointer to avoid copy
}
```
