   * behavior is similar to the default behavior in C and C++,
   * including type promotion, with the following caveats:

   * * When comparing type X with a string, type X will first be
   * converted to string, then compared lexically (the usual
   * behavior of string::operator< and company).

   * * vtkObject pointers will be converted to an unsigned integer of
   * appropriate size.  If both variants contain vtkObjects then
   * they are comparable directly.

   * * Comparing char values with strings will not work the way you
   * might expect if you're treating a char as a numeric type.  Char
   * values are written to strings as literal ASCII characters
   * instead of numbers.

   * This approach follows the principle of least surprise at the
   * expense of speed.  Casting integers to floating-point values is
   * relatively slow.  Casting numeric types to strings is very slow.
   * If you prefer speed at the expense of counterintuitive behavior
   * -- for example, when using vtkVariants as keys in STL containers
   * -- you can use the functors described at the bottom of this file.

   * The actual definitions of these operators are in
