* helper to treat various sorts of smart-ptrs uniformly.
* Implemented as a variant-type value object, it is preconfigured
* with the possible hierarchy-base classes used within this application.
* Thus, when passing in an arbitrary smart-ptr, the best fitting smart-ptr
* type pointing to the corresponding base class is selected for internal storage.
* Later on, stored values can be retrieved either utilising static or dynamic casts;
* error reporting is similar to the behaviour of dynamic_cast<T>: when retrieving
* a pointer, NULL is returned in case of mismatch.
*
* @deprecated not sure if this was a good idea anyway. Better re-think how to handle wrapped objects in visitation
* @todo really need to switch to the new lib::Variant and util::AccessCasted implementation ////////////////TICKET #450
