It's worth mentioning that Rust's RFC 2102 [1] defines unnamed structs
and unions for the purpose of C interoperability, but it's not yet
implemented.

Would it help Rust's bindgen (and, potentially, other C declaration
parsers) if R could optionally give a name to the anonymous union
member, like it's done in Windows API [2]?
