When Jason wrote in the code "Avoiding having to load in the ActiveX unit."
this indicates to me that type is not an IBO invention, but that's defined
in the AxtiveX unit but Jason didn't want to include it for avoiding more
overhead. We are talking about Delphi variant types that can be used to map
to the IB data types. I can't check because I have only D3, but if Jason
wrote {$IFDEF IBO_VCL40_OR_GREATER} then there's some support in D4 and
above. If D5 doc says INT64 can't be a variant, then I request anyone with
D5 to check what's type 14 in the D5's ActiveX unit. I don't know what
Borland considers type 14, but Jason used it for INT64 support.
