[Biocorba-l] report on Anys in CORBA::ORBit

[Ewan Birney]

Hmmm. This confirms my suspicisions. I would suspect a similar mess in
fnorb/omniorb python.


I am all for using strings in name-value pairs. Nearly all current uses of
name value pairs are string-compatible (a string, a number or a float). I
think name value pairs are evil outside of defined dictionaries and we
should be against them anyway.



anys just make life difficult and annoying. My 2p.
