/**
 * Serves as a container for any data that can be
 * described in IDL or for any IDL primitive type.
 * An <code>Any</code> object is used as a component of a
 * <code>NamedValue</code> object, which provides information about
 * arguments or return values in requests, and which is used to define
 * name/value pairs in <code>Context</code> objects.
 <p>
 *
 * An <code>Any</code> object consists of two parts:
 * <OL>
 * <LI>a data value
 * <LI>a <code>TypeCode</code> object describing the type of the data
 * value contained in the <code>Any</code> object.  For example,
 * a <code>TypeCode</code> object for an array contains
 * a field for the length of the array and a field for
 * the type of elements in the array. (Note that in     this case, the
 * second field of the <code>TypeCode</code> object is itself a
 * <code>TypeCode</code> object.)
 * </OL>
 *
 * <P>
 * <a name="anyOps"</a>
 * A large part of the <code>Any</code> class consists of pairs of methods
 * for inserting values into and extracting values from an
 * <code>Any</code> object.
 * <P>
 * For a given primitive type X, these methods are:
 *  <dl>
 *      <dt><code><bold> void insert_X(X x)</bold></code>
 *      <dd> This method allows the insertion of
 *        an instance <code>x</code> of primitive type <code>X</code>
 *    into the <code>value</code> field of the <code>Any</code> object.
 *    Note that the method
 *    <code>insert_X</code> also resets the <code>Any</code> object's
 *    <code>type</code> field if necessary.
 *      <dt> <code><bold>X extract_X()</bold></code>
 *      <dd> This method allows the extraction of an instance of
 *        type <code>X</code> from the <code>Any</code> object.
 *    <BR>
 *    <P>
 *    This method throws the exception <code>BAD_OPERATION</code> under two conditions:
 *    <OL>
 *     <LI> the type of the element contained in the <code>Any</code> object is not
 *         <code>X</code>
 *     <LI> the method <code>extract_X</code> is called before
 *     the <code>value</code> field of the <code>Any</code> object
 *     has been set
 *    </OL>
 * </dl>
 * <P>
 * There are distinct method pairs for each
 * primitive IDL data type (<code>insert_long</code> and <code>extract_long</code>,
 * <code>insert_string</code> and <code>extract_string</code>, and so on).<BR>
 * <P>
 * The class <code>Any</code> also has methods for
 * getting and setting the type code,
 * for testing two <code>Any</code> objects for equality,
 * and for reading an <code>Any</code> object from a stream or
 * writing it to a stream.
 * <BR>
