One of Variant's design goals is to be used for interfacing/implementing  
scripting languages. So, yes, I'd say it's both recommended and  
acceptable. In fact, I'd encourage you to post to the newsgroup or  
bugzilla any rough edges you run into with variant. I've been working on  
an update to it which fixes all current bugzilla issues and implements a  
runtime-reflection system.
