💅 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 💅

Protocol message argument data types — that's the whole vibe, but let me spill the tea ☕

This union is the main character of argument types in the Wayland protocol wire format. Like, every single argument type the wire format knows about? It lives here. No cap. 💀

The protocol implementation uses wl_argument inside its marshalling machinery for dispatching messages between a client and a compositor. So when messages are getting shipped back and forth, this lil union is the thing carrying the payload. It's giving backstage-pass energy fr fr 🌸
