My short-term plan, if I ever get a free minute, is to convert the
events into structs (deleting the type field) and add one event that
contains the type and a union with all the structs.

As far as I'm concerned, unions are deprecated in favour of switch. But
I don't have the tuits to implement non-bit <case> in <switch>, whereas
unions "work" today.
