 Only certain "simple" types can be used atomically, namely the
 primitive boolean, integer, and float-point types. These are `Bool`,
-`Int8`...`Int128`, `UInt8`...`UInt128`, and `Float16`...`Float64`.

+Additionally, atomic operations on `Ptr` are also supported.
 
 New atomic objects can be created from a non-atomic values; if none is
 specified, the atomic object is initialized with zero.
