What is the purpose of doing this? The SV is guaranteed to hold anything.
Why we need a type that can hold any integer, and a type that can hold
any float. The struct/union solution does not provide much type safety.
How can I tell which member is valid without external knowledge.
I don't think we really need this type, using SV instead.
