I don't think it would be so useful. There is no way to implement a general 
constructor.
It would be possible to export a kind of "malloc" function, returning the 
appropriate pointer to Lua.
I think it would be too low level...

tolua 5.0 should handle union just fine.
is it buggy or are you using a older version?
