  This file contains the declaration for CppVariant, a type used by C++ classes
  that are to be bound to JavaScript objects.

  CppVariant exists primarily as an interface between C++ callers and the
  corresponding NPVariant type.  CppVariant also provides a number of
  convenience constructors and accessors, so that the NPVariantType values
  don't need to be exposed, and a destructor to free any memory allocated for
  string values.

    // string data, which must be freed with a call to freeData() when the
