Review comment:
       Oh, I think it is bad for performance using `WithFields` like that. 
`WithFields` basically extracts fields from a struct and re-construct the 
struct with new field. So you can image that too many missing columns cannot 
get good performance.
   
   However, I think we currently have no better approach to fill missing 
(nested) fields in structs. We might add a note to the `unionByName` API for 
performance notice.
