[type_erasure] link to any_cast reference section
Hi, Unlike most classes/functions in Boost.TypeErasure, the following http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast.html does not go to the reference for boost::type_erasure::any_cast, the proper link being http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast_idp758556752.html Problem is this seemingly autogenerated file name is unstable. For instance, for Boost 1.63 the link was http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast_id... in develop it is http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast_i... and in master it is http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/master/doc/html/boost/type_erasure/any_cast_id... which makes it impossible to refer to this section of Boost.TypeErasure documentation from other pages. Maybe this can be fixed? Thank you Joaquín M López Muñoz

This is really annoying. It looks like the reason this happens is that BoostBook sees both boost::any_cast and boost::type_erasure::any_cast and decides that it needs to mangle them because they have the same name. (The test isn't smart enough to realize that they're in different namespaces) In Christ, Steven Watanabe

There are three possible solutions: - Fix BoostBook. (I'll get to this eventually) - Build your documentation as part of the global doc build and link using [functionref boost::type_erasure::any_cast] - I could have the type_erasure docs built separately to avoid the conflict.

I just fixed BoostBook in develop. any_cast.html will work. In Christ, Steven Watanabe

I can confirm the fix does indeed work. Could this be merged to master? Thank you Joaquín M López Muñoz
