I think my C++ fu is obviously very weak. I'm having a hard time seeing how 
boost::any works, or at least what are the requirements and syntax of the 
instantiation of it.

It sounds like "Employing the member template mechanism supports implicit
conversion from values of an arbitrary type into an any." means that I can 
just say

   any X = string("Hello");
and X will be an any<string> initialized to a copy of the std::string "Hello"?
