	 * A type cast to a union type is valid if the source type is any
	 * member type of the union.  Since all union members with the same
	 * type have the same representation, the name of the union member
	 * doesn't matter.
	 *
	 * XXX: could there be padding bits or other tricky details that are
	 * settable per-member?  These could make the type alone insufficient
	 * for determining the exact representation.
	 *
	 * C99 6.5.4 "Cast operators" does not mention a union cast.  On the
	 * contrary, it says that the type name shall specify a scalar type.
	 *
	 * C11 6.5.4 "Cast operators" differs from C99 but still requires
	 * scalar types for both the target type and the source value.
	 *
	 * This is a GCC extension.
