Iterators/vectors (was: [Biocorba-l] BSANE and bioCORBA)

[Michael Dickson]

Martin beat me to the punch.  Unless we identify a requirement to 
iterate over structs you'd not need to use anys but simply an untyped 
corba Object (as my example indicated).  That'd certainly be my 
preference as well and it keeps us clearly in the camp of features 
supported by most of the open orbs.
