In Tim's defense: I had indeed not looked at the code at all, and what I wrote was incorrect, so what he wrote was completely true. I also mentioned that my understanding of the variant conversion system was limited, and that I might be completely wrong. Turns out I was, and Tim corrected me. It's true that he probably didn't use the most friendly tone in the world, but I've seen much worse, so I don't really care. Let's just drop this before it turns into a flame war; I'd like to keep those off wikitech-l.

We definitely need more documentation and fame for this system, so its potential doesn't go to waste.
