Simple and unfinished Variant class
#ifndef VARIANT
#define VARIANT
// Quick implementation of variant type, somewhat like boost::variant.
// Why not using boost then ? Boost is a big dependency, using it on such a tiny code
// would not be wise.
// NOTE : Is uint64 wise here ? I just chose it for security purpose
// Maybe using constexpr here would be wise. I don't want it to sound like a template metaprogramming showoff
