Fails to compile with MSVC 19.15

Microsoft managed to break the successful compilation of the variant sources again. The latest update of MS Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.8, MSVC 19.15) produces messages like these:

Probably a compiler bug. Someone already reported a similar problem.

[Mystfit]

I can confirm this. I'm receiving the same error with Visual Studio Community 2017 15.8.1

[mpark]

Fixed the root cause in 657110d5ea11f344d29bce1d9609c7d76696cb64

[DanGroomMPG]

So... not a compiler bug?
