Yes. You can check with `isbits`.

Thank you Mauro. If I understand correctly, this means that in SharedArrays 
I cannot use immutable types whose fields contain arrays. Is that right?
Thanks a lot,

Yes, but only for isbits types, i.e. immutables which do not contain
non-immutable fields.  Otherwise you could look into the new &
experimental threads support in 0.5.
