Performs type-safe access to the contained object.

operand - target any object

[edit] Return value

1-3) The value, or a reference to the value contained by operand. If the requested ValueType is a reference, it is const-qualified for (1).
4-5) If operand is not a null pointer, and the typeid of the requested ValueType matches that of the contents of operand, a pointer to the value contained by operand, otherwise a null pointer. The returned pointer is const qualified for (4).

[edit] Exceptions

1-3) Throws bad_any_cast if the typeid of the requested ValueType does not match that of the contents of operand.
