[boost] A replacement to any_cast

Hi,
I've checked the 'any' library, and I have a suggestion.
Wouldn't it be nicer if class any will have a member method like:

    template <typename T>
    T get() const;

or maybe even:

    template <typename T>
    const T& get() const;
    template <typename T>
    T& get();

In my humble opinion, that would look better of the current 'any_cast' way
of doing it.
Thanks,
