I'm getting this error when trying to create a union of predefined objects.

--------------------------------------------------
#declare Foo = sphere { <0, 0, 0>, 0.1 };
#declare Bar = sphere { <1, 0, 0>, 0.1 };
union
{
    Foo
    Bar // Parse Error: No matching } in 'union', object identifier found
instead
}
--------------------------------------------------

This seems like it should be fine. It parses successfully if I put each
identifier inside object { }. Why isn't this allowed?
