The following sample code:

import std.variant, std.stdio;
void main() {
    void[] elements = new void[4];
    Variant v = elements;
    writeln(v);
}

Results in the following compiler errors:

variant.d(425): Error: expression (*zis)[index] is void and has no value
variant.d(675): Error: variable
std.variant.VariantN!(32LU).VariantN.get!void.get.Buf.result variables cannot
be of type void
variant.d(678): Error: a struct is not a valid initializer for a _error_
variant.d(683): Error: cannot return non-void from void function
variant.d(471): Error: template instance
std.variant.VariantN!(32LU).VariantN.get!void error instantiating
variant.d(562):        instantiated from here: handler!(void[])
variant.d(512):        instantiated from here: opAssign!(void[])
test.d(6):             instantiated from here: __ctor!(void[])
variant.d(471): Error: [arg[0LU].get()] of type void[] has no value
variant.d(440): Error: switch case fallthrough - use 'goto case;' if intended
variant.d(485): Error: switch case fallthrough - use 'goto case;' if intended
variant.d(562): Error: template instance

variant.d(512): Error: template instance
std.variant.VariantN!(32LU).VariantN.opAssign!(void[]) error instantiating
test.d(6):               instantiated from here: __ctor!(void[])
