Re: [boost] An elegant way to initialize an instance of boost::any with a C-style string constant

Hello,

I would like to improve usage of boost::any with text (char*) constants. This would be the goal:

boost::any foo("foo");

This is not a char*. There is no problem putting a char* in a boost::any. It's a const char[N]. An array. To insert an object into a boost::any, the object needs to be copyable. Arrays aren't. The end.
