Yes!

Do you mean literally

    boost::variant<std::string, std::map<...>, std::vector<...>,
number_type, bool, null_type>

?

I'm not even sure what to say to that... lol... the difference between
the declaration above and the provided json::value is like night and
day. `variant` is missing almost all of these member functions:

Surely you mean something else??
