Description

When you try to create an union comprising say an array of ints and an array of strings, you get a ""Duplicate in union: array".
I appreciate that this is in the spec, but the spec is wrong since an array of ints and an array of strings have different types.
Two ways to fix this:

• provide support for named arrays
• dig into array element type
