 This page:

     http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/doc/html/variant/tutorial.html


 defines the following code snippet:

   void times_two( boost::variant< int, std::string > & operand )
   {
     if ( int* pi = boost::get<int>( &v ) )
         *pi *= 2;
     else if ( std::string* pstr = boost::get<std::string>( &v ) )
         *pstr += *pstr;
   }

 in which (1) 'v' is not defined and (2) 'operand' is not used. I suspect
 that this is not intentional, but rather, a mistake. Specifically, it
 seems that every occurrence of 'v' should be replaced by 'operand'.
