[boost] proposed extension for boost::any

Hi Frantz,

Why do you store heap-allocated pointers in any? Why not just store
objects? Like this:

    boost::any b = B(); // not "new B" !

any then

    A& base = extract<A&>(b); // not yet in boost

This feature has been implemented in dynamic_any but it's not yet
accepted.
