Variants aren't supported yet, but you should be able to use DBus arrays
on messages with a std::vector of primitives. std::string might work but I
haven't tested it yet.

It's not much of an example, but the unit tests:
     call_message_append_extract_iterator_array_int()
     call_message_iterator_insertion_extraction_operator_array_int()
in unit-tests/messageiteratortests.cpp should give some insight.
