##### Panicking (Optional)
Then, for each of the safe abstractions that invoke the unsafe functions listed above, write contracts that ensure that they are not invoked with `order`s that would cause panics.

For example, `atomic_store` panics if invoked with `Acquire` or `AcqRel` ordering.
In this case, you would write contracts on the safe `store` methods that enforce that they are not called with either of those `order`s.

This section is not required to complete the challenge, since panicking is not undefined behavior.
However, it would be incorrect for someone to call these functions with the wrong arguments, so we encourage providing these specifications.

#### Part 3: Atomic Intrinsics

Write and verify safety contracts for the intrinsics invoked by the unsafe functions from Part 2 (in `core::intrinsics`):
