C supports anonymous structs and unions since C11, so that section is now erroneous.

> Before C11 C didn't allow for anonymous structs or unions, which meant that dummy member names were necessary: The docs state this, don't they? Please feel free to reopen if you disagree or send a PR to correct this yourself.

I think the docs have been corrected since I opened this issue. Everything looks fine now :)
