Template std.sumtype.tryMatch
Attempts to call a type-appropriate function with the value held in a [SumType], and throws on failure.
template tryMatch(handlers...)
;
Matches are chosen using the same rules as [match], but are not required to be exhaustive—in other words, a type (or combination of types) is allowed to have no matching handler. If a type without a handler is encountered at runtime, a [MatchException] is thrown.
Not available when compiled with -betterC.
