doesn't work.  after the macro starts in clusglow.pov (one of the
included demo files for glows) it aborts with an error message about not
finding the ending brace of the union, but finding 'glow' instead. 
wasn't there a message thread a while back about glows and unions? 
looks like it's popped up again.

Glows in unions didn't work in 0.6a but it was possible to use the
syntax.
In 0.7 it isn't alowed anymore since this could lead to
misunderstandings.
Simply remove the union and the two braces and the scene will work
again.
We should have changed those demo scenes but because we didn't uploaded
a new demo archive...

To be short: the scene still works if you comment out the line
  union {
and the 
{
for the union.
