I'm using Sun C++ release 2.0.  Given a class definition like:

class Obj {
private:
   union {
      char cval;
      int ival;
   };
};

I'd expect ival to be inaccessible outside class scope except to friend
classes and functions.  It's accessible.  If I name the union, things
work as I expect.  Am I missing something?
