I'm using the variant module from Phobos and I use the coerce function to convert types:

Variant v="2";
int n=v.coerce!(int);

But an exception is thrown. 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. What did I do wrong?



-----------
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
