That's the great "feature" of C unions, that you cannot know that in
general. You have to store somewhere else, in a boolean or flag set,
whether the stored union value contains a 'char' or an 'int'.
poke ptr (I i) = poke ptr i -- <-- Or should this be #{poke my_union, i}
ptr i ?
poke ptr (C c) = poke ptr c
