//
// = DESCRIPTION
//   Code for deep_free
//   The original code had a single static deep_free function that called
//   traverse to interpret the data types. This version defines a static method
//   "deep_free" on each class and avoids calling traverse.
//
//   Helper routine for "Any" destructor.
//
//   This frees all the memory pointed to by any given value held inside
//   of an "Any".  For most data types it does nothing, since most data
//   types don't hold any memory.  For a few, it calls other deep_free methods
//   to free the memory
