My question is totally offtopic (well, almost :), but it -seems- to
clear up a great misunderstanding I had about the any type.

Am I correct in reading your comment as: an any type can become struct
or 'typedef sequence' that is defined in the IDL?

I never could get the any type to work, and this would explain why; I
just didn't get it.
If this is true, it might make my IDL a lot more readable.

Cheers,
