void main() { import std.variant; import std.stdio; import std.traits; immutable ii = 1; const ci = ii; // implicitly convertible assert(isImplicitlyConvertible!(immutable(int), const(int))); // yup Variant v = ii; assert(v.convertsTo!(const(int))); // why not? }

This also applies to arrays: import std.traits; import std.variant; void main() { assert(isImplicitlyConvertible!(string, const(char)[])); //passes Variant var = "some_string"; assert(var.convertsTo!(const(char)[])); //fails }

Works in git master. I think https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/commit/6e7eabbd42a7f2e3e555081e1b17893c3c18b6f8 fixed this as well while fixing 7069.
