/**
 * @class   vtkVariantCast
 *
 * Converts a vtkVariant to some other type.  Wherever possible, implicit conversions are
 * performed, so this method can be used to convert from nearly any type to a string, or
 * from a string to nearly any type.  Note that some conversions may fail at runtime, such
 * as a conversion from the string "abc" to a numeric type.
 *
 * The optional 'valid' flag can be used by callers to verify whether conversion succeeded.
 *
 * @par Thanks:
 * Developed by Timothy M. Shead (tshead@sandia.gov) at Sandia National Laboratories.
