In general I agree.  Thats why I posted the questino to begin with  --
I did not want to rashly abandon the possibility that the construct
might have some use.

I belive a useful semantics for a `hybrid' Union is possible.  I
belive I can make it work but am unsure when I will have the time to
implement it.  Perhaps it would be best to get a prototype running and
conduct some experiments to get an empirical `feel' for the construct?


Take care,
Steve
