<div class='docblock'><p>This module implements the <code>Any</code> trait, which enables dynamic typing
of any <code>&#39;static</code> type through runtime reflection.</p>
<p><code>Any</code> itself can be used to get a <code>TypeId</code>, and has more features when used
as a trait object. As <code>&amp;Any</code> (a borrowed trait object), it has the <code>is</code> and
<code>downcast_ref</code> methods, to test if the contained value is of a given type,
and to get a reference to the inner value as a type. As <code>&amp;mut Any</code>, there
is also the <code>downcast_mut</code> method, for getting a mutable reference to the
inner value. <code>Box&lt;Any&gt;</code> adds the <code>downcast</code> method, which attempts to
convert to a <code>Box&lt;T&gt;</code>. See the <a href="../../std/boxed/struct.Box.html"><code>Box</code></a> documentation for the full details.</p>
<p>Note that &amp;Any is limited to testing whether a value is of a specified
concrete type, and cannot be used to test whether a type implements a trait.</p>
<h1 id='examples' class='section-header'><a href='#examples'>Examples</a></h1>
<p>Consider a situation where we want to log out a value passed to a function.
We know the value we&#39;re working on implements Debug, but we don&#39;t know its
concrete type. We want to give special treatment to certain types: in this
case printing out the length of String values prior to their value.
We don&#39;t know the concrete type of our value at compile time, so we need to
use runtime reflection instead.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
