    A variant class, that can be used to hold a range of primitive values.

    A var object can hold a range of simple primitive values, strings, or
    any kind of ReferenceCountedObject. The var class is intended to act like
    the kind of values used in dynamic scripting languages.

    You can save/load var objects either in a small, proprietary binary format
    using writeToStream()/readFromStream(), or as JSON by using the JSON class.
