Wow - I think I saw some of the thread but it didn't register with me.
This is probably because I wasn't interested in variant at the time.
Two things stand out for.
a) The proposal to bring back the sandbox - To me that's what the
incubator is.
b) I cloned it, built it and ran the tests. After a very minor hassle
with CMake, Everything worked great.
c) So this is definitely something that can/should be in the incubator
right now so people can easily find it and experiment with it. The
requirements of the incubator are designed to:
1) submit code that actually works so it's worth trying
2) provide the author with useful feedback bug reports, etc.
So, to me, this is an absolutely ideal candidate to be in there.
As a side note, the documentation isn't particularly easy find. The
github project has the mark down but not the html so one has to google
around for it. Also there are two articles which have very useful
information - but they aren't easy to find either.
And one more thing. I added the library into my project - and damn! it
seems that eggs::variant::variant
