Discussion: 
Close with no change. The proposal would weaken the safety of union mapping (after we struggled for ages to make it safe). In
addition, the proposal would force every union class to carry code for default-initialization of union members. While we have
this functionality in DynAny, I don't think it is appropriate to force this into the static stubs as well.
