Making the union needs to be done in a separate patch.  And coming back to this
with fresh eyes, I think it makes sense to give the union a name.  I think an
anonymous union is actually worse in the long run, and there aren't _that_ many
instances to update.  E.g. that way a single build-time assertion can capture
all uses, and it makes it more obvious that the usage is poking into a union.

I'll post a patch separately so that it can be picked up for the MGLRU series
(and maybe even merged ahead of both).
