Well, to start off, what do you mean by "union types"? Something like
OCaml's variant types, e.g. `Int of int | `Float of float ? Secondly,
do you have any questions in particular? Try and think through how the
type inferencer is going to look in regards to union types and see if
you can't find any rough spots that you're having trouble figuring
out.
