 * Avro unions.
 *
 * Unions are represented in memory similarly to their JSON representation
 * (i.e. inside an object with single key the name of the contained type).
 *
 * This is not ideal, but is the most efficient way to unambiguously support
 * all unions. Here are a few reasons why the wrapping object is necessary:
 *
 * + Unions with multiple number types would have undefined behavior, unless
 *   numbers are wrapped (either everywhere, leading to large performance and
 *   convenience costs; or only when necessary inside unions, making it hard to
 *   understand when numbers are wrapped or not).
 * + Fixed types would have to be wrapped to be distinguished from bytes.
 * + Using record's constructor names would work (after a slight change to use
 *   the fully qualified name), but would mean that generic objects could no
 *   longer be valid records (making it inconvenient to do simple things like
 *   creating new records).
 *
 * Lore: In the past (until d304cab), there used to be an "unwrapped union
 * type" which directly exposed its values, without the wrapping object
 * (similarly to Avro's python implementation). It was removed to keep all
 * representations consistent and make this library simpler to understand
 * (conversions, e.g. for schema evolution, between representations were
 * particularly confusing). Encoding was also much slower (worst case
 * complexity linear in the number of types in the union).
