I'm sorry, I'm having trouble figuring out what you're trying to
accomplish or where it is having trouble.

I think you could unpack a `variant<YourEnumType, std::string>` from the
message (or dbus call result) and if it is your enumeration it'll be
interpreted as so but if not it will fall back to the string.  You can
even do `variant<Enum1, Enum2, Enum3>` and it'll turn into the correct
one.

The important thing is that you need to pass all possible types into the
variant when you attempt to unpack it.
