> The validate() method on generated structs verifies that required fields are
> set after validation. However, if the type of the field is a Union struct,
> then just checking that the field isn't null is not a valid check. The value
> may be a non-null union, but have an unset field. (We encountered this when
> deserializing a type that had a union for a field, and the union's set value
> was an enum value that had been removed from the definition, making it a
> skip.)
> In order to perform the correct validation, if the value is a Union, then we
> must also check that the set field and value are non-null.
