Does adobe::polly offer a way to call methods on the anys content without unwrapping it? Could this be done generically for any method (I know there would be type/method safety issues)?

Yes, you can do that with adobe poly and it's perfectly safe.

Take a look at the example which adds method size() to poly without modifying poly's source code. You could do the same to add operator<<.
