Ahh, there's a workaround:

        alias Algebraic!(int,void) nint;
        nint n1=5;
        assert(n1.get!(int)==5);
        n1=nint(); //uninitialized Variant, sort of null
        assert(!n1.hasValue);
        assert(n1.peek!(int)==null);
        writeln("error here:");
        assert(n1.get!(int)==0);
