Not entirely sure the cause of this. The following code fails to compile:

import std.variant;

void main() {
    const(TypeInfo) ti = typeid(TypeInfo);
    Variant v = ti;
}

Output:
rdmd test.d

object.TypeInfo.opCmp is not callable using a const object
/Users/kapps/dev/dmd/phobos/std/variant.d(377): Error: mutable method

Seems like it tries to call opCmp with the const instance even if opCmp is not
const.
Yet the following sample works:

import std.variant;

class Foo {
    override int opCmp(Object o) { return 0; }
    override bool opEquals(Object o) { return 0; }
}
void main() {
    const(Foo) inst = new Foo();
    Variant v = inst;
}


Not entirely sure why it doesn't work with TypeInfo then which has the exact
same opCmp and opEquals signatures.
