/**
 * Downcasts or crosscasts an @ref any.
 *
 * \pre @c R and @c Any must both be specializations of @ref any.
 * \pre PlaceholderMap must be an MPL map with a key
 *      for every non-deduced placeholder used by R.
 *      The value associated with each key should
 *      be the corresponding placeholder in Any.
 * \pre The concept of Any must include @ref typeid_, for every
 *      @ref placeholder which is used by R.
 * 
 * The single argument form can only be used when @c R uses
 * a single non-deduced placeholder.
 *
 * \throws bad_any_cast if the concepts used by R were
 *         not previously registered via a call to
 *         @ref register_binding.
 *
 * Example:
 * \code
 * // Assume that typeid_<>, copy_constructible<>, and incrementable<>
 * // have all been registered for int.
 * any<mpl::vector<typeid_<>, copy_constructible<> > > x(1);
 * typedef any<
 *     mpl::vector<
 *         typeid_<>,
 *         copy_constructible<>,
 *         incrementable<>
 *     >
 * > incrementable_any;
 * auto y = dynamic_any_cast<incrementable_any>(x);
 * ++y;
 * assert(any_cast<int>(y) == 2);
