The attached produces runtime error:

./rebind_any.exe
creating b_self
any(const U&)
creating b_copy
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::type_erasure::bad_any_cast>
>'
  what():  std::bad_cast
make: *** [run] Aborted

Yet, the type returned by rebind_any was used in the any_cast; hence,
it must be a good cast, AFAICT.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA.
