  // level use the following idiom:
  //
  // vtkVariantStrictEquality comparator;
  // bool variantsEqual = comparator(firstVariant, secondVariant);
  bool IsEqual(const vtkVariant& other) const;

  // Description:
  // Compare two variants for equality, greater than, and less than.
  // These operators use the value represented by the variant instead
  // of the particular type/bit pattern used to represent it.  This
  // behavior is similar to the default behavior in C and C++,
  // including type promotion, with the following caveats:
  //
  // * When comparing type X with a string, type X will first be
  //   converted to string, then compared lexically (the usual
  //   behavior of string::operator< and company).
  //
  // * vtkObject pointers will be converted to an unsigned integer of
  //   appropriate size.  If both variants contain vtkObjects then
  //   they are comparable directly.
  //
  // * Comparing char values with strings will not work the way you
  //   might expect if you're treating a char as a numeric type.  Char
  //   values are written to strings as literal ASCII characters
  //   instead of numbers.
  //
  // This approach follows the principle of least surprise at the
  // expense of speed.  Casting integers to floating-point values is
  // relatively slow.  Casting numeric types to strings is very slow.
  // If you prefer speed at the expense of counterintuitive behavior
  // -- for example, when using vtkVariants as keys in STL containers
  // -- you can use the functors described at the bottom of this file.
  //
  // The actual definitions of these operators are in
  // vtkVariantInlineOperators.cxx.
