   1) The generic iterator may or may not use anys. AFAIK the current
Juha's suggestion does not use anys but a general CORBA object.
   2) The usage of anys is easy once you make the first example. It's good
to take into account things which do not exists in many ORBs, such as
valuetypes, but it would be a bit too prudent to throw out other things
just because they need few more lines of code. In any language you can
provide nice libraries and utilities for it.
