/**
* @brief Data type for representing a D-Bus variant
*
* When D-Bus methods or signal require that a paramater can have any of the
* D-Bus data types, a D-Bus variant can be used.
*
* Basically a D-Bus variant includes the actual data and a D-Bus data signature
* to allow a receiver to determine the contents.
*
* Since the TQT_DBusVariant's #value member will already be fully de-marshalled,
* a receiver using this bindings can savely ignore the signature if it doesn't
* need it for a different purpose (e.g. logging).
*
* However, when creating a TQT_DBusVariant object for sending, make sure the
* #signature member is correctly setup, for example by using the #value
* member's buildDBusSignature() method.
*
* @code
* TQT_DBusVariant variant;
*
* variant.value = TQT_DBusData::fromInt32(131719);
* variant.signature = variant.value.buildDBusSignature();
* @endcode
