Variant based code is a nightmare to maintain. Just let somebody else
extend some variant based code. How should he know what a variant could
contain at a certain place? Such extensions are simply very error prone
to rte because of type mistaches. Variants are a step back to assembler
level: there you work also basically with typeless memory locations and
other people have to guess what a memory location could contain.
