Variant a;
a = "10";
assert(a.convertsTo!(const(char)[])); // fails but should work


This breaks coercing strings to numeric types too,
since this is the test inside the coerce function.

Also fails on 2.059 win32.
For convenience:

import std.stdio;
import std.variant, std.conv;

void main(){
    Variant a;
    a = "10";
    assert(a.convertsTo!(const(char)[])); // fails but should work
}

ImplicitConversionTargets in std.traits is to blame. That template is probably missing more though, for example I don't see 'wchar[] -> const(wchar)[]' anywhere.
