Return the index of the alternative currently managed by this `variant` object, or `bsl::variant_npos` if this object is valueless by exception. This method differs from the standard in the following way: * `constexpr` is not implemented This is because no constructors are currently constexpr and there is no way to test the constexpr property of this function.
