Oh, but to the original question about unions, that sounds pretty handy, and
probably a pretty common use case. Basically just syntactic sugar for the
"all-optional-only-one-present" case. That's definitely the kind of code
that can and should be generated, IMO. Go for it.

It seems pretty reasonable and not all that hard. If you got all
ambitious,
you could rewrite the entire compiler to allow forward references and we
would suddenly have recursive data structures!
