I've found bugbears like this are distressingly common in 
std.variant.  Another one you might find yourself dealing with is 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10223, which applies to 
AAs as much as regular arrays.  It's actually why I stopped using 
it in favour of Adam Ruppe's arsd.jsvar.
