Thanks for taking the time to explain your design.  Some interesting
differences there, like your exposing the variant directly instead of
forwarding to it.  I was trying to think how I could make my Property
interface into an actual D interface when templates are part of the
interface, and those can't be virtual.   But the answer is just what
you're doing: put the templates inside a struct -- expose the Variant
in the interface and let *it* provide the templates.

Sounds like it's really the same problem, so maybe not so surprising
the solution looks similar.  You've got a console from which users can
view and set state.  I've got a properties panel.  Basically the same
thing.
