[boost] [any] small buffer optimizations?

Hi,

As eplained in

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/dynamic_typing.aspx

boost::any is not exactly optimal w.r.t. efficiency. Diggins 
implementation avoid allocation for objects smaller or equal to 
sizeof(void*). Personally I think this is too small a buffer; 
Boost.Function uses at least two words; I think it might be worth to go 
for 3 words.

Would anyone be interested in implementing this?

best regards
