#7578: boost::any missing free swap function

 Reporter:  dave              |       Owner:  nasonov
     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  any    
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0      |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Given that a free swap function is the "official" interface used by
 generic algorithms, this is a rather shocking omission (though I know the
 status of swap wasn't settled at the time of any's design).  Suggestion:
 add

 {{{
 friend void swap(any& x, any& y) { x.swap(y); }
 }}}

 to the body of any and update the docs accordingly.
