boost::anys::any_cast — Custom keyword cast for extracting a value
          of a given type from an
          basic_any. Also available from boost namespace.
// In header: <boost/any/basic_any.hpp> template<typename T> T any_cast(basic_any & operand); template<typename T> T any_cast(basic_any && operand); template<typename T> T any_cast(const basic_any & operand); template<typename ValueType> const ValueType * any_cast(const basic_any * operand); template<typename ValueType> ValueType * any_cast(basic_any * operand);
| Returns: | If passed a pointer, it returns a similarly qualified pointer to the value content if successful, otherwise null is returned. If T is ValueType, it returns a copy of the held value, otherwise, if T is a reference to (possibly const qualified) ValueType, it returns a reference to the held value. | 
| Throws: | Overloads taking an basic_anypointer do not
          throw; overloads taking anbasic_anyvalue or reference
