In some cases we want to use world chunks for things other than actual world chunk data because their a convenient storage format. For example, saving out a new asset from a selection does this. Also, the brush previews. Maybe more places I'm forgetting right now.
The problem with this is that right now they're hard-coded to use the compressed 8-bit type, but that means models and brush previews cannot be more than 256 voxels large in any one dimension, or they overflow.
Should be pretty easy to add a d_union for this kinda thing.
