because you cannot have a union field with a name that is also the name
of a struct field defined within the union.
I don't see the problem. You have to access the thingy's 'data' through
the 'burble' member, so there is no ambiguity, is there?
This would be different, and dmd rejects it accordingly:
----
union flob {
ulong data;
struct {
uint data; /* test.d(4): Error: variable test.flob.data conflicts with
variable test.flob.data at test.d(2) */
uint bits;
}
}
