/**
 * @class CORBA_Any
 *
 * @brief Class "Any" can wrap values of any type, with the assistance
 * of a TypeCode to describe that type.
 *
 * This includes three constructors, a destructor, and a "replace"
 * method for the "Any" data type.  "Any" values pair a pointer to
 * a data structure in the native binary representation (e.g. C
 * struct) with a TypeCode that describes that data structure.
 * The copy constructor and the destructor each use the TypeCode
 * interpreter with specialized "visit" callback routines.  The
 * "visit" routines are used respectively to make "deep copies"
 * and perform "deep frees" of the aritrary values as described by
 * the "Any" value's typecode.
 * Note that these "visit" routines are called directly, and they
 * choose whether or not to use the TypeCode interpreter to
 * examine constituents.  In the simple cases, the "visit"
 * routines can do their work without any further calls; only for
 * constructed types is the interpreter's knowledge really
 * required.
 * THREADING NOTE: "Any" is a data structure which must be
 * protected by external critical sections.  Like simpler numeric
 * types, "Any" instances are accessed and modified atomically.
 * This implementation is reentrant, so that independent "Any"
 * values may be manipulated concurrently when the underlying
 * programming environment is itself reentrant.
