</div>It was already broken for ages... :/<br>
<br>
Even if you're not using the backends (or MC), having it in front-end<br>
only will only confuse new users that will try to use it and hope it<br>
just works (my case, a few months ago).<br>
<br>
If there is nothing, you just work around it (by adding new features<br>
to structs, if necessary) or re-create unions, depending on your<br>
commitment to the union problem. Although having an union type would<br>
be quite an improvement to IR readability, I really don't need it that<br>
badly to write the whole back-end for it.<br>
<br>
It's just a matter of priorities, unfortunately... :(<br>
