[omniORB] Stuffing Sequences into Anys

[David Riddoch]

Hi Mike,

I assume you are defining this sequence type in IDL as follows:

  typedef sequence<string> stringSequence;

Thus the type that you are inserting into the any is in fact a typedef of
sequence of string, hence the tk_alias.

Cheers,
David
