How big a deal would it be to add a NULL indicator to the VariantN struct.
I use the term NULL as opposed to null deliberately. Variant already
provides the hasValue() method, which can serve as a null indicator. But
in using it as a parameter in database modules, it would be useful to be
able to give a Variant instance a type, as in v = "", but also to set it
explicitly as NULL with setNull() or whatever.
Could this fly without breaking existing code?

I'm not sure having three possible states in Variant is a good idea, but
maybe I'm not quite following.
Doesn't it already carry type information when not set to a value?
