Are bit-fields allowed in unions in C++?

If so, then why does cfront reject them?

If not, then why isn't this restriction listed in the appropriate part
of the Annotated C++ Reference Manual (which describes unions) and
also in the section (in chapter 18) describing incompatabilities with
ANSI C?
