Variant
The Variant type is not a real lua type, but instead indicates what lua values LÖVE can store internally. It is used in love.thread and love.event. Indeed, as it is a "virtual" type, it has no specific representation in lua, and no methods.

Types
A Variant can be a table, a boolean, a string, a number or LÖVE Objects.
Notes
- Foreign userdata (Lua's files, LuaSocket, ENet, ...), functions and
nil

- There are various restrictions on using tables for Variant:
- Values within a table are also subject to the Variant rules (i.e. must only contain Variant types).
- Tables will lose their metatables when used as a Variant.
- Prior to 11.0 nested tables are not officially supported.
- Nested tables cannot have cyclical references
