Research direction

Start by reading the linked pre-RFC on read-only visibility and the surrounding RFC discussion to understand the proposed struct and union field behavior. The issue currently asks for a better top-level description; done means the issue clearly states the proposal and its scope without requiring readers to reconstruct it from the external discussion.
