Summary
Inspired by Kevlin Henney's boost::any variant type I have written a high performance alternative called cdiggins::any.

I've come up with what so far appears to be a a very robust and extremely fast alternative to boost::any. My preliminary tests have shown a speed up of 40x under certain circumstances.

I have published my code along with a brief article at here at CodeProject.com.

I wrote this type so that I could have top performance in dynamically typed code produced by the Heron to C++ translator I am writing. Hopefully others will find it useful as well.
