Expose the Variant helper class
For several versions, VTK-m has had a Variant
templated class. This acts
like a templated union where the object will store one of a list of types
specified as the template arguments. (There are actually 2 versions for the
control and execution environments, respectively.)
Because this is a complex class that required several iterations to work
through performance and compiler issues, Variant
was placed in the
internal
namespace to avoid complications with backward compatibility.
However, the class has been stable for a while, so let us expose this
helpful tool for wider use.
