Good to hear. I'd be interested in your experience using the library in a
real-world (?) application.

I plan to ready the code for release with 1.31. Until then, you can try
using the code in the sandbox, which I have recently updated to work with
1.30.

Note, however, that the code in the sandbox will change -- sometimes
significantly -- and integrates variant with other libraries I am
developing, such as Boost.Visitor and Boost.Move. If this is a problem for
you, you may want to update the variant submission code yourself. Most of
the required changes are to accomodate class and header name-changes in MPL
between 1.29 and 1.30 -- nothing terribly significant.

Thanks,
Eric
