/** Implements a generic algebraic type using an enum to identify the stored type.

	This struct takes a `union` or `struct` declaration as an input and builds
	an algebraic data type from its fields, using an automatically generated
	`Kind` enumeration to identify which field of the union is currently used.
	Multiple fields with the same value are supported.

	All operators and methods are transparently forwarded to the contained
	value. The caller has to make sure that the contained value supports the
	requested operation. Failure to do so will result in an assertion failure.

	The return value of forwarded operations is determined as follows:
	$(UL
		$(LI If the type can be uniquely determined, it is used as the return
			value)
		$(LI If there are multiple possible return values and all of them match
			the unique types defined in the `TaggedAlgebraic`, a
			`TaggedAlgebraic` is returned.)
		$(LI If there are multiple return values and none of them is a
			`Variant`, an `Algebraic` of the set of possible return types is
			returned.)
		$(LI If any of the possible operations returns a `Variant`, this is used
			as the return value.)
	)
