Dynamic Access and the Variant

[Alfred Van Hoek <vanhoek at mac dot com>]

Given the fast pace of changes to intrinsic (belonging to the rb  
runtime) classes, dynamic access over other forms of access becomes  
really critical.
While one can create a variant using "REALNewVariantColor",  
retrieving a color from it like:
UInt32 Variant_GetColor(REALobject self)
{
        long value;
        if (REALGetPropValue(self, "ColorValue", &value))
                return value;
        else
        {
                MSG(DYNAMIC ACCESS FAILURE: Variant_GetColor)
                return Variant_VariantToColor(self);
        }
}

simply fails.  What's the exact syntax? We do not have problems with  
other variant properties.
