In previous versions the following code compiled because there was no opCall:

import std.variant;

void main() {
    auto v = Variant();
}

Error: need 'this' for 'opCall' of type '@trusted VariantN!(20u)()'

The opCall isn't static so it requires a this. A work around seems to be to add null:

Variant(null);

I think the issue has come from a not useful language behavior. So I change "Component" field to "DMD".

If both constructor and opCall exist, `Type()` should be handled as literal syntax for default construction.
