[LLVMdev] Union types

[Talin]

BTW, I don't know if I mentioned this but thank you for the patch. Do you
know if you will be doing any further work on unions? I'm trying to decide /
understand what to work on next - unfortunately I'm not all that familiar
with the LLVM backends and code generators, I'm mostly a front end guy. :)
