This gets us back to our never-ending discussion of Boost dropping C++03 support.

I'm sure this time it will be more productive than our last three attempts.

Incidentally, std::any is C++17, so classifying Any as "legacy" implies everyone
uses C++17 or better. (You also have "superseded by C++20" further down the
list, which is even less justifiable.)
