This is actually what I'm trying to hide with this coding style,
the purpose of this class is to handle this conversion for some
specific data.
The other option is to not overload the method, and have something
like this:
Function getInteger(name as String) As Integer
Function getString(name as String) As String
The advantage of the Variant method is that you do not need to know
the stored type before you call the function... since the Variant
will automatically convert to the variable type it is being copied to.
It would be nice to allow overloading of return parameters, but I
have a feeling that that would result in far more ambiguous code; for
example which function should be called with the following?
Dim v As Variant = get("piff") // Integer or String function????
