Can you show your .json patches as well?

In the JSON, you want '*compress':'CompressUnion' (or some such name)
(overall, the user does not have to specify compression); but within
CompressUnion, you want 'format' to be unconditional (it is the
discriminator), and then branches of the union to add whatever other
fields match the enum members covered by 'format'.
{ 'enum': 'CompressionType', 'data': [ 'gzip', 'lzo' ] }
{ 'union': 'CompressUnion', 'discriminator': 'format',
'base': { 'format': 'CompressionType', '*level': 'int' },
'data': { 'gzip': {...any gzip-specific extras}, 'lzo': {...any
lzo-specific extras} } }
[hmm, I think I'm STILL missing my patches to allow for an anonymous
base... I should rebase and send those; but in the meantime, you'll
have to create a separate 'CompressBase' struct and use
'base':'CompressBase' instead]
