What such code is there? Do you have proposed textual edits to C99 to
define such extensions?
The Santa Clara WG14 minutes include "ACTION: David Keaton to rework his
previous proposal on anonymous unions, adding anonymous structures as
appropriate.". Are you or anyone involved with the Plan 9 compiler
working with him on proposed changes for WG14 that would include these
extensions? If these extensions are useful and already present in some
other implementation, they might be appropriate to propose for C1x.
