Standard for union initialization?

[Rob Warnock]

Notice that the "first element" rule makes it virtually impossible to
do things like initialize symbol tables at compile time, unless you
give up using unions. The whole point of unions is that they can vary,
but if I can only initialize one to the first "type", how do I initialize
an array of them, some of which are of various types?
