Compatibility layer for MySQLVal. These functions provide methods that
TaggedAlgebraic
does not provide in order to keep functionality that was available with Variant.
Notes:
The type shim should be avoided in favor of using the kind property of
TaggedAlgebraic.
The get shim works differently than the TaggedAlgebraic version, as the
Variant get function would provide implicit type conversions, but the
TaggedAlgebraic version does not.
All shims other than type will likely remain as convenience features.
Note that peek is inferred @system because it returns a pointer to the
provided value.
