Is this the only reason the variant traits needs to be befriended by the PointerUnion? If so, perhaps this API could be exposed in PointerUnion's public API rather than using friendship?

From a pure perspective I think it is an implementation detail, which is the same reason I didn't expose the index in IntrusiveVariant either. It seems reasonable to expose, as std::variant does expose an ::index method, but I can't think of many uses of it that don't have a better, type-safe alternative.

Eh, I don't feel too strongly about it - but figure if it's an important feature for VariantTraits, that seems like as good a reason as any for it to be public (since you can access the property via variant traits anyway - so why not access it directly at that point?).

Up to you.
