You seem to be not getting that discriminated_union and variant each are used in different scenarios.

One quick scenario for where you want a variant is:

Why do you want a variant here? Can't you define an apply() for discriminated_union that does exactly what you want? Why do you need a different type? More specifically, why do you need a type for which match(v, [](A a){...}, [](B b){...} ) randomly breaks in generic code?
