I'm thinking of adding a template boost::interfaces::any, which has cloning semantics and uses the same syntax as any for binding, i.e., assignment and construction from a const reference.

template<typename Interface = IAnything> class any;

Are you aware of Alexander Nasonov's work on "dynamic_any"

(http://cpp-experiment.sourceforge.net/boost/libs/dynamic_any/doc/tutorial.ht...) ? Yes, in fact I borrowed the extract function from dynamic_any. There seem to be some close connections between dynamic_any and the interface library, but I'm not yet sure what they are. ;-) Jonathan
