Note that there are some cases which could make you doubt that, like
the UArray Bool (bool isn't a primitive type), but that's because
UArray Bool don't really use unboxed bool, it's a specific
implementation (array of bits).

Also I think what I said is true for now, but I heard sum of void
constructors could be unboxed in a future version of GHC, did I
misunderstood ?
