Detailed Description

The union type represents union types.

Note that this representation resembles the C union type. For tagged variant types like in Pascal or Modula a combination of a struct and a union type must be used.

• n_types: Number of unioned types.
• members: Entities for unioned types. Fixed length array. This is a dynamic list that can be grown with an "add_" function, but not shrinked.
