Add doc TODOs for wxVariant. You know, Convert wasn't documented _at all_, heh :).

@@ -4,12 +4,7 @@ The {\bf wxVariant} class represents a container for any type.
A variant's value can be changed at run time, possibly to a different type of value.
As standard, wxVariant can store values of type bool, char, double, long, string,
string list, time, date, void pointer, list of strings, and list of variants. However, an application can extend
wxVariant's capabilities by deriving from the class \helpref{wxVariantData}{wxvariantdata} and
using the wxVariantData form of the wxVariant constructor or assignment operator
to assign this data to a variant. Actual values for user-defined types will need to be accessed
via the wxVariantData object, unlike the case for basic data types where convenience
functions such as GetLong can be used.

This class is useful for reducing the programming for certain tasks, such as an editor
for different data types, or a remote procedure call protocol.
