For what it's worth, both Algebraic!(T, void*) and Algebraic!(T, void)
compile on my branch of std.variant.

can't assign null

        alias Algebraic!(int,void) nint;
        nint n1=5;
        assert(n1==5);
        n1=null;

\std\variant.d:497: Error: static assert  "Cannot store a void* in a 
VariantN!(maxSize,int,void). Valid types are (int, void)"
test.d:45:        instantiated from here: opAssign!(void*)

Yes, compiler qualifies null as void*.

I was playing with void* version few weeks ago and I can confirm that both assignment and equality testing works for nulls. One thing I missed was lack of conversion to string "null". For example array of Algebraic!(int, void*) was printed as [0, 0, 2], when element 1 was null. I think it should rather be [0, null, 2].
