This was (sort of) asked and addressed a while back at What are typeglobs (useful for)?. I was introduced to the Union data structure in my college compiler class for what it is worth. I have always thought of typeglobs as Unions -- things that can store the same value but reference/use it in different ways. I'm probably wrong, however. :)
