True that I just need limited type supported and not entire universe of
types, I have also seen following, but it would mean to put it in series of
if(is_int), elseif(is_char_ptr) kind of statements, switch statement would
be more cleaner, that why I thought type_traits may offer cleaner solution.
Performance is also criteria.

I took a look at the examples in the Boost::Any documentation and found this:
bool is_int(const boost::any & operand) { return operand.type() == typeid(int); }
bool is_char_ptr(const boost::any & operand) { try { any_cast
(operand); return true; } catch(const boost::bad_any_cast &) { return false; } } bool is_string(const boost::any & operand) { return any_caststd::string(&operand); }
Is that what you're looking for?
