Please bear in mind, I'm not saying that Variant[string] is *completely* useless. I'm just saying that most of the time it's not necessary. Sure there are some cases where it's useful, I've no problem with it being used in those cases. But we shouldn't be using it for all kinds of stuff that can be handled in better ways, e.g., static fields in a derived exception class.
On the contrary, I predict that once Variant[string] info() is present in Exception, people will start using it with a collective sigh of relief.
