When accessing `Attribute`s of `long double` on MSVC, the implementation of it is the same as `double`. It will therefore round-trip as `double` (since we match the first, "smallest" type in-order). But since the implementations are the same, it's perfectly castable (both types implement 64bit float precision).

So far this does only enable the read of
long doubleattributes on MSVC again.DemonstratesFix #179.Let's see if we can figure out the reason behind it.UsegetCastto read back along doubleon Windows which is identical to adouble. Since both are unique types, we have to check if they are identical which is exactly whatgetCastdoes, see #337.In the future, we should integrate
getCastintoauxiliary::Variant::get<>().
