Only in the world where sequences are structs.

Once Tom gets done yelling at you about that, I'll answer any choice-specific questions;)

Seriously my problem is with the implementation of union in C not with
the concept.  I agree that for the Pascal version of this call, a
tagged varient record is appropriate.

Unions are more compact by introducing the possibility of interpreting
one data type as another without intending to do so.  Some times--for
device registers and other low-level things this is what you want.  I
don't think it is here.
