The Engine defines primitive operations to concurrently access/modify data while maintaining consistency. Since it is desirable to build more complex routines from these operations (while also maintaining consistency in concurrent environments), we must build an AtomicOperation protocol at the Engine level, which ConcourseServer can use to safely provide complex routines to the client.

AtomicOperation
...
- AtomicOperation is a BufferedStore that transports to the Engine (or a Transaction)
- AtomicOperation uses just in time locking so it never block other operations before it goes to commit
- When committing, AtomicOperation grabs locks to create a fence around the resources on which it will operate. It does not release these locks until it is done committing
- AtomicOperation listens for version changes to the resources that it intends to lock. If it is notified about a version change it fails immediately.
