Description
In the current standard wording, the word "anonymous" is almost always used together with union. There's only one exceptions - "anonymous parameter" in [cmp.categories.pre] ("anonymous namespace" in [diff.cpp03.dcl.dcl] was fixed by #9061).
I wonder whether we should say "unnamed parameter" instead. It seems to me that "unnamed" is a more general adjective, but currently the standard wording doesn't say "unnamed parameter" anywhere.
