CORBA21 — Marshalling of union type codes

Summary: On page 13-14, the spec says for marshaling of type codes:

"Note that the tuples identifying struct, exception, and enum
members must be in the order defined in the OMG IDL definition
text."

This is right and proper, otherwise I wouldn"t know in what order things are
encoded or what their ordinal values are. However, the text does not
mention unions, so the order in which a type code describes the union
members is left to the implementation.

Suggestion: Require union members to also appear in the order in which
they are defined in the IDL.
