boost.any, default constructor & docs

Hi all,

I just stumbled across two issues involving any.

First I think the templated any constructor should be declared 
explicit, because currently this allows the following to be compiled:

struct something
{
  any value_;
};
something value;
const int dummy_i = boost::any_cast<DWORD>(value);

The intention was to write "boost::any_cast<DWORD>(value.value_)", of 
course.

Secondly, the docs for any mention any_ptr in the example section. I 
guess the examples should be rewritten to use any_cast.
