You can have a look at the optional polymorphic value object in the vault ( http://tinyurl.com/2og6st). In the accompaining examples (http://tinyurl.com/2o3wrn), there is a sample re-implementation of boost::any that benefits from the small object optimization guaranteed by the polymorphic container.

As far as I understand it is possible to use in boost::any techniques similar to boost::function. I.e. split virtual behavior and actual data. It will help to avoid heap allocation while copying boost::any with stored small objects.
What do you think about adding it to next releases of boost?
