/**
 * Attempts to extract the object that @c arg holds.
 * If casting to a pointer fails, \any_cast returns
 * a null pointer.  Casting to @c void* always succeeds
 * and returns the address of stored object.
 *
 * \code
 * any<mpl::vector<typeid_<>, copy_constructible<> > > x(1);
 * any_cast<int>(x);      // returns 1
 * any_cast<int&>(x);     // returns a reference to the contents of x
 * any_cast<double>(x);   // throws bad_any_cast
 * any_cast<int*>(&x);    // returns a pointer to the contents of x
 * any_cast<void*>(&x);   // returns a pointer to the contents of x
 * any_cast<double*>(&x); // returns NULL
 * \endcode
 *
 * \pre if @c arg is a pointer, @c T must be a pointer type.
 * \pre @c Concept must contain @ref typeid_ "typeid_<Tag>".
 *
 * \throws bad_any_cast if @c arg doesn't contain
 *         an object of type @c T and we're casting
 *         to a value or reference.
