If it's really just shared_ptr's in the variant, I would seriously consider replacing it with shared_ptr<void> (with a type tag if necessary).  Just a thought.

Seriously, could be a big simplification and speedup vs. using using variant.

Could you please elaborate a bit on this? How to replace variant with shared_ptr<void> and a tag? Wouldn't the tags be wrapped in a variant anyway?

No, tags could be an enum or a type_info*, for example -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
