Hi!

At present I learn what it means not to have strong typing: 
I play around with boost::any. A new and healing experience.
Thank You, Bjarne, for insisting on strong typing for C++ ;-)
Never made so much use of the debugger ...

So now I found out that any_cast does not promote
types that may be promoted like for int->double conversions.

Any workaround in the lib I overlooked or
is this the time for my_any_cast<T>(boost::any const &)?
