class TAO_Export CORBA_Any
{
  // = TITLE
  //   Class "Any" can wrap values of any type, with the assistance
  //   of a TypeCode to describe that type.
  //
  // = DESCRIPTION
  //   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.
