----------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY of your comment:

>union() is not a good method name. Given that 'union' is a C/C++ keyword, 
>it cannot get compiled by the MIDL compiler (on Windows).We need a new 
>name. Either:i) Union(): but we have so far, started method names using 
>lower cap characters.ii) calcUnion() or getUnion(): or something similar.
