PSPP-BUG: [patch #5236] Case Data type

[Ben Pfaff]

Follow-up Comment #7, patch #5236 (project pspp):

> In fact, it might also be an idea to drop the union altogether and just
have

That's OK, as long as the opaque type has the same alignment requirements as
the current "union value".  An array of MAX_SHORT_STRING chars, for example,
would not.  In fact, I'm not sure what would be guaranteed to have the
alignment, other than the current union.
