Observe the
[implementation](https://github.com/Kriyszig/magpie/blob/master/source/magpie/axis.d) of
```d
stuct Axis(U...){}
```
More specifically, observe its usage in the unittests for [Binary
Ops on Variant
Axis](https://github.com/Kriyszig/magpie/blob/master/source/magpie/axis.d#L410-L437) and [Binary Ops on Variant + Other DataType](https://github.com/Kriyszig/magpie/blob/master/source/magpie/axis.d#L440-L467)
Note that both tests fail due to asserts on lines 422 and 452.
Note also that commenting out these two lines results in
successful compilation of all other tests. Inspecting c.data, one
will find that it holds the array [1.7, 3.7, 5.7, 7.7, 9.7] in
both cases, which is what is being asserted by those two lines.
So the question is, what is the proper way to compare a slice
(array literal?) and an Algebraic in current D? I assume that
this code worked back in 2019, however, I am unable to detect
when it stopped working because no DMD compiler prior to v2.100.0
works properly on my system.
On a related note, std.variant.Algebraic has been deprecated and
the suggested replacement is std.sumtype.SumType. What is the
proper way to make this conversion? Attempting to do a drop-in
replacement results in the following errors:
