May be the compiler should generate compile time error or a warning.
The whole point of variants is that it allows you to get around
compile time type checking. If you want compile time type checking,
don't use variants. Giving a warning for each "non-variant + variant"
operation which might fail would give a warning for pretty much every
such operation, since there are virtually always combinations which
may not give a valid result.
