Hello!

Would this description also be correct?

The reason for the existence of two classes is that only such a 
distinction can be made between two methods, one of which returns an 
array of three Variant type values and the other three values, each of 
which is Variant. In both cases there are exactly three values! Using 
DBusValues makes it clear that you want to return several values. This 
is also reflected in the different DBus signatures: for DBusVariant it 
is "av" and for DBusValues it is "vvv".
?
