GVariant is just a natural replacement for stuff using GstStructure/GValue,
it's a super-set of this. The other cases, refer to cases (in general) where we
don't want an API but need to propagate recusrive data structure. GVariant is
for my experience more convenient, but still more difficult then a specialized
data structure.

I just asked because I was curious to see if GVariant has been illimated for
some reason, or just never came up in recent design/redesign. The big down side
of GVariant (from my point of view), is that there is no way to change the
binary parser, so you cannot simply store the binary and parse on demand
(unless your binary format is dbus format, the one current used). In few
projects I've been involved (and including this case) this would have been
optimal.
