1. Variant would be the correct term in D-Bus (a container that packs the type along with the value) and since GVariants are tied to the D-Bus type system it makes sense.

2. Err .. it seems to me it’s an INvariant thing ? Or I missed something.
   Plus, you fixed a limit at G+5 chars, remember :)

3. Doesn’t seem particularly intuitive to me at all, but maybe I’m missing something. Could you explain how it fits the bill?

   There was a good handful of suggestions that actually make sense (to me, at least) in your last post. Oh, and while we’re at it and you did away with the G+5 requirement: GWireValue or GWireVal ;)

4. Mmm… “Variant”… just like in Visual Basic!
   :)

5. I’d love if it’d make the connection to D-Bus and serializing more obvious – those are the 2 primary rasons for its existance after all. But as I have no idea how to put that into 5 letters, I’ll just shut up.

6. This sounds similar to Qt’s QVariant: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qvariant.html

7. Dan: You see right through to the core of me. ;-)

8. Are you going to release gsettings and dconf sometime? Like before 2009?
