      This new type represents a union of multiple types. For example:

      structs:
        writeConcern:
          fields:
            w:
              type:
                  # The "w" field accepts a string or an int
                  variant: [string, int]
      

      Add tests for the "variant" type in test_parser.py and test_generator.py, following the examples of the existing types.
