It's legal in C++ and in D. I find it useful when interfacing with C++
non-POD types which have an embedded union, because it allows me to
group related properties under a union declaration (it serves only as
documentation), for example:

C++:
class Foo
{
public:
    Foo() { }

    union
    {
        int var1;
        bool var2;
    };
};

D:
///
class FooWrapper
{
    /// union property
    union
    {
        @property int var1();
        @property void var1(int i);

        @property bool var2();
        @property void var2(bool i);
    }
}
