The intent was to not inflict heap allocation on Variant's user unwittingly. If
large structs are to be stored in a Variant, they should be stored by pointer
and allocated in user code.

However, transparent pointer storage has its appeal too. I'd like to collect
more use cases before changing the implementation. All -- please advise.
