Enabling the same behavior for unions as for structs is correct, but
could be relaxed: the valid bit patterns for unions are the union of all
valid bit patterns of their fields. So for a union to implement
`Zeroable`, only a single field needs to implement `Zeroable`. This can
be a future improvement, as it is currently only needed for unions where
all fields implement `Zeroable`.
There is no danger for mis-parsing with the two optional tokens (ie
neither one or both tokens are parsed), as the compiler will already
have rejected that before giving it as the input to the derive macro.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
