Research direction

Compare the Rust Reference pages for struct expressions and enum variant expressions, including the union material noted in the issue. First verify whether their syntax and organization now overlap; done means deciding whether the pages should be merged and documenting that decision through the relevant reference changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

C-discussion Organization

Although the semantic of what is actually created differs based on the path, they have the same syntax and the struct expression page also includes unions. They were separate expressions when all expressions were listed on one page, but next to each other. It was easy to understand that way. But that's not been the case for a long time now. If my assessment is correct, then these pages should be merged together. So, is my assessment correct?
