There is still some work to be done on variant. In the next day or two, I
plan to have "sugared up" recursive variant support such as the following:

  typedef boost::variant<
      int
    , std::vector< boost::recursive_variant >
    > my_variant;

Also, Itay is continuing to work on the documentation and tests. I imagine
we'll finish soon.

Thanks,
