/**
* Any values can be dynamically interpreted (traversed) and constructed through DynAny objects.
* A DynAny object is associated with a data value which corresponds to a copy of the value
* inserted into an any.
* A DynAny object may be viewed as an ordered collection of component DynAnys.
* For DynAnys representing a basic type, such as long, or a type without components,
* such as an empty exception, the ordered collection of components is empty.
* Each DynAny object maintains the notion of a current position into its collection
* of component DynAnys. The current position is identified by an index value that runs
* from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of components.
* The special index value -1 indicates a current position that points nowhere.
* For values that cannot have a current position (such as an empty exception),
* the index value is fixed at -1.
* If a DynAny is initialized with a value that has components, the index is initialized to 0.
* After creation of an uninitialized DynAny (that is, a DynAny that has no value but a TypeCode
* that permits components), the current position depends on the type of value represented by
* the DynAny. (The current position is set to 0 or -1, depending on whether the new DynAny
* gets default values for its components.)
*
The iteration operations rewind, seek, and next can be used to change the current position
* and the current_component operation returns the component at the current position.
* The component_count operation returns the number of components of a DynAny.
* Collectively, these operations enable iteration over the components of a DynAny, for example,
* to (recursively) examine its contents.
*
A constructed DynAny object is a DynAny object associated with a constructed type.
* There is a different interface, inheriting from the DynAny interface, associated with
* each kind of constructed type in IDL (fixed, enum, struct, sequence, union, array,
* exception, and value type).
*
A constructed DynAny object exports operations that enable the creation of new DynAny objects,
* each of them associated with a component of the constructed data value.
* As an example, a DynStruct is associated with a struct value. This means that the DynStruct
* may be seen as owning an ordered collection of components, one for each structure member.
* The DynStruct object exports operations that enable the creation of new DynAny objects,
* each of them associated with a member of the struct.
*
If a DynAny object has been obtained from another (constructed) DynAny object,
* such as a DynAny representing a structure member that was created from a DynStruct,
* the member DynAny is logically contained in the DynStruct.
* Calling an insert or get operation leaves the current position unchanged.
* Destroying a top-level DynAny object (one that was not obtained as a component of another DynAny)
* also destroys any component DynAny objects obtained from it.
* Destroying a non-top level DynAny object does nothing.
* Invoking operations on a destroyed top-level DynAny or any of its descendants raises OBJECT_NOT_EXIST.
* If the programmer wants to destroy a DynAny object but still wants to manipulate some component
* of the data value associated with it, then he or she should first create a DynAny for the component
* and, after that, make a copy of the created DynAny object.
*
The behavior of DynAny objects has been defined in order to enable efficient implementations
* in terms of allocated memory space and speed of access. DynAny objects are intended to be used
* for traversing values extracted from anys or constructing values of anys at runtime.
* Their use for other purposes is not recommended.
*
Insert and get operations are necessary to handle basic DynAny objects
* but are also helpful to handle constructed DynAny objects.
* Inserting a basic data type value into a constructed DynAny object
* implies initializing the current component of the constructed data value
* associated with the DynAny object. For example, invoking insert_boolean on a
* DynStruct implies inserting a boolean data value at the current position
* of the associated struct data value.
* A type is consistent for inserting or extracting a value if its TypeCode is equivalent to
* the TypeCode contained in the DynAny or, if the DynAny has components, is equivalent to the TypeCode
* of the DynAny at the current position.
*
DynAny and DynAnyFactory objects are intended to be local to the process in which they are
* created and used. This means that references to DynAny and DynAnyFactory objects cannot be exported
* to other processes, or externalized with ORB.object_to_string().
* If any attempt is made to do so, the offending operation will raise a MARSHAL system exception.
* Since their interfaces are specified in IDL, DynAny objects export operations defined in the standard
* org.omg.CORBA.Object interface. However, any attempt to invoke operations exported through the Object
* interface may raise the standard NO_IMPLEMENT exception.
* An attempt to use a DynAny object with the DII may raise the NO_IMPLEMENT exception.
