What compiler(s) implement this as an extension?  It isn't allowed in C++03
either: "An object of a class with a non-trivial constructor, a non-trivial
copy constructor, a non-trivial destructor, or a non-trivial copy assignment
operator cannot be a member of a union, nor can an array of such objects."
