           Summary: Variant.coerce!() fails
           Product: D
           Version: 2.014
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: arkangath gmail.com


The documentation states:

If the VariantN object is a string, a parse of the string to type T is
attempted.

But it doesn't do that.

-----------
test.d:

import std.variant;

void main ()
{
    Variant v="2".dup;
    int n=v.coerce!(int);
}
------------
Runtime:
Error: Variant: attempting to use incompatible types char[] and real
