filtering the exception within the table.
Exactly.
The need for Variant instead of string is mainly to distinguish numeric
info from string info when doing things like singular vs. plural or Arabic
numeral rendering vs. textual ("one", "two" etc).
So like Jacob mentioned and you denied, you *are* advocating putting at
least some i18n into exceptions.
No. I am simply enabling a variety of applications, with i18n as an
obvious one. Encoding numbers as strings may force decoding later. It's
just unnecessary.
