Variants aren't supported. Arrays are new enough that I'm not sure if the
structure will support them. I've only tried primitives with arrays so
far.

At some point I'd like dbus-cxx to also support those, but I haven't had
time to come up with a clean implementation that I'm happy with.

dbus-cxx is, for the most part, completely unrelated to dbus-c++.

For anything in the dbus library that isn't supported by dbus-cxx (like
variants) you would have to fall back to the dbus C library through the
cobj() methods which returns a pointer to the underlying C object.

But, if you wanted to implement Variants and or test/add an example of
string arrays I'd be happy to accept a patch.
