• Steve Teale (6/6) Oct 08 2011 I think I remember seeing that std.variant is being updated.
• Nick Sabalausky (7/12) Oct 08 2011 If there isn't already one, it would be easy to add:
• Robert Jacques (4/10) Oct 08 2011 Yes, there is. Variant is now a struct so:
• Steve Teale (2/7) Oct 09 2011 So it does. Thanks.

Is there some way that an efficient test could be slipped in there that
would work in templates. The best my fuzzy brain can come up with this
morning is not wonderful:

(typeof(target).stringof.indexOf("VariantN!(maxSize)") == 0)

If there isn't already one, it would be easy to add:

enum is_std_variant_Variant = true;

static if(traits(_compiles, target.is_std_variant_Variant)) {}

Although I would think the language itself would have some way to check if a 
type is an instantiation of a particular templated type...

Yes, there is. Variant is now a struct so:

is(typeof(target)==Variant)

works just like you'd expect.

So it does. Thanks.
