    Description

      It would be a nice addition to the language if thrift supported a void field type for unions, this would be used for fields that are set but without a value, i.e. the act of setting it is all the information that is required. Take this example:

      union Query {
        // Find only this item
        1: string only;
        // Find any of these items
        2: list<string> anyOf;
        // Find all of these items
        3: list<string> allOf;
        // Every item
        4: void all;
      }
