No examples of decoding into structures.

I was expecting some decoding to structs functionality when dealing with dictionaries. am I just missing it?
right now I'm getting errors dbus.Store: type mismatch: map: cannot store a value of map[string]dbus.Variant into Foo
looking at the code looks like it doesn't handle anything but map, slices, interface{}, and primitives.

type Foo struct {
    V1 string `dbus:"value1"`
    V2 bool `dbus:"value2"`
}

dbus.Store(s.Body, &foo)

From the error, it looks like you're not actually receiving a struct, but a map of variants (which is a way to represent "dictionaries" in D-Bus). Structs are something different in the D-Bus model, namely an ordered sequence of typed, but unnamed values. So Go structs are mapped to this and vice versa. You can still use map[string]Variant, but there's no encoding/json-like "magic" for translating this into structs, since it's not that common in D-Bus - usually the schema is known and you can just use structs. Shouldn't be too hard to roll your own reflect-based helper, and I'd also accept a PR for something like this as long as it's only an additional step for converting these dicts to structs.
