// With tagged unions, it gets EVEN BETTER! If you don't have a
// need for a separate enum, you can define an inferred enum with
// your union all in one place. Just use the 'enum' keyword in
// place of the tag type:
//
// const Foo = union(enum) {
// small: u8,
// medium: u32,
// large: u64,
// };
//
// Let's convert Insect. Doctor Zoraptera has already deleted the
// explicit InsectStat enum for you!

// Inferred enums are neat, representing the tip of the iceberg
// in the relationship between enums and unions. You can actually
// coerce a union TO an enum (which gives you the active field
// from the union as an enum). What's even wilder is that you can
// coerce an enum to a union! But don't get too excited, that
// only works when the union type is one of those weird zero-bit
// types like void!
//
// Tagged unions, as with most ideas in computer science, have a
// long history going back to the 1960s. However, they're only
// recently becoming mainstream, particularly in system-level
// programming languages. You might have also seen them called
// "variants", "sum types", or even "enums"!
