// This header file define the `absl::any` type for holding a type-safe value
// of any type. The 'absl::any` type is useful for providing a way to hold
// something that is, as yet, unspecified. Such unspecified types
// traditionally are passed between API boundaries until they are later cast to
// their "destination" types. To cast to such a destination type, use
// `absl::any_cast()`. Note that when casting an `absl::any`, you must cast it
// to an explicit type; implicit conversions will throw.
//
// Example:
//
//   auto a = absl::any(65);
//   absl::any_cast<int>(a);         // 65
//   absl::any_cast<char>(a);        // throws absl::bad_any_cast
//   absl::any_cast<std::string>(a); // throws absl::bad_any_cast
//
// `absl::any` is a C++11 compatible version of the C++17 `std::any` abstraction
// and is designed to be a drop-in replacement for code compliant with C++17.
//
// Traditionally, the behavior of casting to a temporary unspecified type has
// been accomplished with the `void *` paradigm, where the pointer was to some
// other unspecified type. `absl::any` provides an "owning" version of `void *`
// that avoids issues of pointer management.
//
// Note: just as in the case of `void *`, use of `absl::any` (and its C++17
// version `std::any`) is a code smell indicating that your API might not be
// constructed correctly. We have seen that most uses of `any` are unwarranted,
// and `absl::any`, like `std::any`, is difficult to use properly. Before using
// this abstraction, make sure that you should not instead be rewriting your
// code to be more specific.
//
// Abseil expects to release an `absl::variant` type shortly (a C++11 compatible
// version of the C++17 `std::variant), which is generally preferred for use
// over `absl::any`.

//
// An `absl::any` object provides the facility to either store an instance of a
// type, known as the "contained object", or no value. An `absl::any` is used to
// store values of types that are unknown at compile time. The `absl::any`
// object, when containing a value, must contain a value type; storing a
// reference type is neither desired nor supported.
//
// An `absl::any` can only store a type that is copy-constructable; move-only
// types are not allowed within an `any` object.
//
// Example:
//
//   auto a = absl::any(65);                 // Literal, copyable
//   auto b = absl::any(std::vector<int>()); // Default-initialized, copyable
//   std::unique_ptr<Foo> my_foo;
//   auto c = absl::any(std::move(my_foo));  // Error, not copy-constructable
//
// Note that `absl::any` makes use of decayed types (`absl::decay_t` in this
// context) to remove const-volatile qualifiers (known as "cv qualifiers"),
// decay functions to function pointers, etc. We essentially "decay" a given
// type into its essential type.
//
// `absl::any` makes use of decayed types when determining the basic type `T` of
// the value to store in the any's contained object. In the documentation below,
// we explicitly denote this by using the phrase "a decayed type of `T`".
//
// Example:
//
//   const int a = 4;
//   absl::any foo(a);  // Decay ensures we store an "int", not a "const int&".
//
//   void my_function() {}
//   absl::any bar(my_function);  // Decay ensures we store a function pointer.
//
// `absl::any` is a C++11 compatible version of the C++17 `std::any` abstraction
// and is designed to be a drop-in replacement for code compliant with C++17.
