Yes, your code is legal.
What isn't legal is using some type that isn't there at runtime,
like
union A {
int[] a;
char[] b;
}
A u;
u.a = [1,2];
u.b.length
The compiler will let you do it, but being a union, it will show
length == 1 because it was set to an int[], but that's not really
correct for a char[].
But the way you did it, initializing to the proper type before
accessing it, is allowed.
