Description

mi is used but never specified. m is specified with "Let m be a pack of n values of type size_t" but it's not clear what mi is supposed to from that. We need text to introduce mi with something like:
for all $0 \leq i < n$, where $m_i$ is ...
Variantsi also needs an introduction (as johelegp points out).

Research direction

Search the draft source for the uses of mi and Variantsi, then read the surrounding variant.visit wording. Introduce both terms where they first appear, making clear the range of i and what each m_i represents; the issue is done when both terms are explicitly defined.
