Ouch, yep, I mean [1, "abc", 4L, 3.33]
But I have no clue how to implement it.

(T) (T[] t) AND (T) (T t) seems not to work.
snip
struct FlexMap
{
	Variant[] [string] map;

	Variant[] opDispatch(string name)()
	{
        return map[name];
     }
	
     Variant[] opDispatch(string name, E...)(E elements)
	{
		foreach(element; elements)
	       	map[name] ~= to!Variant(element);

		return properties[name];
     }
	
	Variant[] opDispatch(string name, T) (T t)
	{
		map[name] ~= to!Variant(t);
		return map[name];
	}		
	// No go
	Variant[] opDispatch(string name, T) (T[] t) {}

}
