As far as I get it, Variant is useful to have a variable that can be assigned with many other variables of different types during its lifetime. I also regularly want to use it to store _one_ thing, anything, to get it back later. But then I'm at a loss as to how crack open the Variant afterwards, without storing some sort of type information somewhere.
