AFAICS this variable (when set to nil) enables using members of
unions in some places where union is expected. I suspect that it
has only effect on function signatures. In particular, when this
variable is set to nil Axiom may choose different versions of
overloaded functions.
Note that the change I did is a no-op: |$noSubsumption| were set
to t by xrun.boot.pamphlet.
