38 /** C++ class representing an IDL any.
39 This class is used to transport any type defined in IDL. The class inherits from the
40 binary C representation of uno_Any.
41 You can insert a value by either using the <<= operators or the template function makeAny().
42 No any can hold an any. You can extract values from an any by using the >>= operators which
43 return true if the any contains an assignable value (no data loss), e.g. the any contains a
44 short and you >>= it into a long variable.
