/**
 * This module implements a
 * $(LINK2 http://erdani.org/publications/cuj-04-2002.html,discriminated union)
 * type (a.k.a.
 * $(LINK2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_union,tagged union),
 * $(LINK2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_data_type,algebraic type)).
 * Such types are useful
 * for type-uniform binary interfaces, interfacing with scripting
 * languages, and comfortable exploratory programming.
 *
 * Macros:
 *  WIKI = Phobos/StdVariant
 *
 * Synopsis:
 *
 * ----
 * Variant a; // Must assign before use, otherwise exception ensues
 * // Initialize with an integer; make the type int
 * Variant b = 42;
 * assert(b.type == typeid(int));
 * // Peek at the value
 * assert(b.peek!(int) !is null && *b.peek!(int) == 42);
 * // Automatically convert per language rules
 * auto x = b.get!(real);
 * // Assign any other type, including other variants
 * a = b;
 * a = 3.14;
 * assert(a.type == typeid(double));
 * // Implicit conversions work just as with built-in types
 * assert(a < b);
 * // Check for convertibility
 * assert(!a.convertsTo!(int)); // double not convertible to int
 * // Strings and all other arrays are supported
 * a = "now I'm a string";
 * assert(a == "now I'm a string");
 * a = new int[42]; // can also assign arrays
 * assert(a.length == 42);
 * a[5] = 7;
 * assert(a[5] == 7);
 * // Can also assign class values
 * class Foo {}
 * auto foo = new Foo;
 * a = foo;
 * assert(*a.peek!(Foo) == foo); // and full type information is preserved
 * ----
 *
 * Credits:
 *
 * Reviewed by Brad Roberts. Daniel Keep provided a detailed code
 * review prompting the following improvements: (1) better support for
 * arrays; (2) support for associative arrays; (3) friendlier behavior
 * towards the garbage collector.

 * $(D_PARAM VariantN) is a back-end type seldom used directly by user

 * back-end are:
 *
 * $(OL $(LI $(B Algebraic): A closed discriminated union with a
 * limited type universe (e.g., $(D_PARAM Algebraic!(int, double,
 * string)) only accepts these three types and rejects anything
 * else).) $(LI $(B Variant): An open discriminated union allowing an
 * unbounded set of types. The restriction is that the size of the
 * stored type cannot be larger than the largest built-in type. This
 * means that $(D_PARAM Variant) can accommodate all primitive types
 * and all user-defined types except for large $(D_PARAM struct)s.) )
 *
 * Both $(D_PARAM Algebraic) and $(D_PARAM Variant) share $(D_PARAM
 * VariantN)'s interface. (See their respective documentations below.)
 *
 * $(D_PARAM VariantN) is a discriminated union type parameterized
 * with the largest size of the types stored ($(D_PARAM maxDataSize))
 * and with the list of allowed types ($(D_PARAM AllowedTypes)). If
 * the list is empty, then any type up of size up to $(D_PARAM
 * maxDataSize) (rounded up for alignment) can be stored in a
 * $(D_PARAM VariantN) object.

/**
 * Applies a delegate or function to the given Algebraic depending on the held type,
 * ensuring that all types are handled by the visiting functions.
 *
 * The delegate or function having the currently held value as parameter is called
 * with $(D_PARM variant)'s current value. Visiting handlers are passed
 * in the template parameter list.
 * It is statically ensured that all types of
 * $(D_PARAM variant) are handled accross all handlers.
 * $(D_PARAM visit) allows delegates and static functions to be passed
 * as parameters.
 *
 * If a function without parameters is specified, this function is called
 * when variant doesn't hold a value. Exactly one parameter-less function
 * is allowed.
 *
 * Duplicate overloads matching the same type in one of the visitors are disallowed.
 *
 * Example:
 * -----------------------
 *   Algebraic!(int, string) variant;
 *
 *   variant = 10;
 *   assert(variant.visit!((string s) => cast(int)s.length,
 *                         (int i)    => i)()
 *                         == 10);
 *   variant = "string";
 *   assert(variant.visit!((int i) => return i,
 *                         (string s) => cast(int)s.length)()
 *                         == 6);
 *
 *   // Error function usage
 *   Algebraic!(int, string) emptyVar;
 *   assert(variant.visit!((string s) => cast(int)s.length,
 *                         (int i)    => i,
 *                         () => -1)()
 *                         == -1);
 * ----------------------
 * Returns: The return type of visit is deduced from the visiting functions and must be
 * the same accross all overloads.
 * Throws: If no parameter-less, error function is specified:
 * $(D_PARAM VariantException) if $(D_PARAM variant) doesn't hold a value.
