Extend to convert a dbus-python result into a structure of simple Python types, i.e., to strip the marshalling packaging

The target does not need any special new dependency. However, it could make use of any of the many tools that are used to represent JSON types of which Pydantic is the standard.

Most simply though, it could be a function that acts like a recursively defined function on dbus-python types, but is specialized to that particular property or what not. The problem is that it can build the object, but does not define the class, so there is no documentation for the class, the user has to know it based on something. Of course, once the object is available, it is introspectable.

Once you encounter a variant type, though, you just run the function that must deal with variant types.

And, if the mapping in the D-Bus property is actually optional, then so is the attribute, I guess.
