Bug 11061 – std.variant.Variant equality comparison always returns false for static array literals.

Attempting to compare a Variant containing a static array to an array literal will always return false. The same code using a dynamic array instead of a static array works. Presumably it's checking the pointer instead of the contents. Example: import std.variant; void main() { int[4] el = [0, 1, 2, 3]; Variant v1 = el; assert(v1 == el); // passes assert(v1 == [0, 1, 2, 3]); // fails }

The actual problem here is that v1 == [0, 1, 2, 3] isn't a check against a static array, but rather a check against a dynamic array. I don't think there's a solution besides making it so arrays in Variant can be compared to other arrays/Variants regardless of whether they're static or dynamic arrays.
