This two types are not covered by the switch-case implementation of this method (see xpcom\ds\nsVariant.cpp). As a result client gets NS_ERROR_FAILURE and has to implement work-arounds for this two types.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
NS_ERROR_FAILURE

Expected Results:  
NS_OK and new variant with proper value

Of course the fix is trivial (just two new lines for switch) and I'm pretty confused if it hasn't been found before or is there some special reason for that?
