>
> Previously, union wrapping during `type.clone` calls would be done in place
> of normal copy. Now it is done as a backup if a normal copy fails. This is
> more consistent with the documentation, and makes it much simpler to wrap
> nested unions.
> See here for more information and examples:
> https://github.com/mtth/avsc/issues/16
> Other changes:
> + Add an optional argument to `type.getName` to expose built-in type names
> (useful to implement an "optional" logical type for example).
> + Document (and rename) `assertLogicalTypes` parsing option.
> + Tweak logical type validity check, enabling error hooks to work even when a
> logical type is valid for a subset of its underlying type's values (e.g.
> when
> defining an "even integer" type). Previously the path would have been
> correct
> but the type would have been that of the underlying one.
