Hi!

Are there any plans of backporting std.variant to D1?
Or is it, apart from any features which might be just
not possible in D1,sufficiently close to Daniel Keeps
variant type that this could be used as a replacement
when compiling for D1?

Regards, Frank

If the answer is no then I think we should start a std2 project on 
dsource which ports d2 phobos additions to d1.

There are no plans to add new features to D1, just bug fixes. After all, 
it would not be stable if new stuff kept being added!

I don't think anyone has tried std.variant on D1, so don't know if it 
works or not.

It's not exactly the same, but it shares many of the same features.

Also, if no one wants to be in charge of an entirely new project, the backports
could probably be contributed to the the scrapple project
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/scrapple).
