The statement

index[0] = 1;

concerns two operations, the operator[] which returns a reference and the assignment operator.

In order to make this work we will need to use expression templates

operator[] would return a proxy reference, let call it at_type, that must store a reference to the synchronized_value instance and the index.

We would need to overload the assignment operator on at_type so that it can do what you want as an atomic operation.

I have not too much time to implement this kind of cosmetic features, but a patch would be welcome. Do you think that you can do it?

I started to consider how to do it at the time I wrote this but right now I'm overloaded with work. I'll try a patch asap but not immediately.
