null assignment to bit variable

[Unknown W. Brackets]

Just remember, D is not PHP :).

As it would happen, the way PHP/Zend does it is using a struct:

enum zval_type
{
	IS_NULL,
	IS_STRING,
	IS_INTEGER,
}

struct zval
{
	zval_type type = zval_type.IS_NULL;
	union
	{
		char[] str_val = null;
		int int_val = 0;
	}
}

I'm also primarily a PHP programmer, by the way ;).
