Nice article Jim.

It brings me with some of the problems i am facing
with any. I tested some of the code in the article on
my plateform (Linux gcc 2.95).

  boost::any a1 = 5;
  std::string s;
  s = boost::any_cast<const char*>(a1);

The any_cast throws an exception. That's not supposed
to happen from what you said in the article.

I wonder if anybody else has this particular problem.

Seb.
