+      The std::variant<> serialization is a first attempt and *not* particularly
+      general. In particular that implies:
+
+        1. It is hardcoded to hold exactly three alternative types T1, T2 and
+           T3.
+
+        2. All the three types T1, T2 and T3 must implement the ::serializeOp( )
+           method. This implies that a variant with a fundamental type like e.g.
+           std::variant<int, Opm::Well, Opm::Group> will *not* work in the
+           current implementation.
