I have scoured the ARM and the WP, but cannot find clarification one way
or t'other as to whether the following is legal:

 class Union
 {
  union { int *i; void *p; };
 public:
  Union(int j)   : i(j) {}
  Union(void *q) : p(q) {}
 };

Trial by compiler says 'no', common sense suggests 'yes', and the relevant
documents seem to say 'dunno'.

[I'm after clarification, not solutions - after all this is comp.std.c++
and not comp.lang.c++ :-) and it's a SMOP to work around the problem]
