Joseph Ferano 6c026cb32e uninit on a union, and .field on one, are both refused
Everywhere else uninit is an opt-out from ZII and the bytes are whatever they
were: a garbage f64 is a garbage number. A union is the one type where that
is qualitatively worse. Its tag steers control flow, a tag no case names falls
past every comparison in a match, and the block after those comparisons is
unreachable -- which LLVM is entitled to assume cannot happen. So the one
place where garbage becomes "the optimiser may do anything" is refused by
name, with the zeroed form, which is a real case, named beside it.

(.x u) on a union said "Shape is not a struct, so it has no fields", which
is true and unhelpful. A union's fields belong to a case and which case is
being held is what the tag says, so they are reached by match, whose arms bind
the fields of the case they matched. The message says that.
