An additional data-point, it looks like Apache Hive also uses one byte
for unions:

questions/proposals for the spec (Layout.md)
On the SIMD question, it seems AVX is going to 512 bits, so one could even
argue for 64-byte alignment as a matter of future-proofing. AVX2 / 256-bit
seems fairly widely available nowadays, but it would be great if Todd or any of
the hardware folks (e.g
