     32   This file contains the declaration for CppVariant, a type used by C++ classes
     33   that are to be bound to JavaScript objects.
     34 
     35   CppVariant exists primarily as an interface between C++ callers and the
     36   corresponding NPVariant type.  CppVariant also provides a number of
     37   convenience constructors and accessors, so that the NPVariantType values
     38   don't need to be exposed, and a destructor to free any memory allocated for
     39   string values.
