Description

`unique_any` public construct/copy/destruct

```
unique_any();
```
Postconditions:

this->has_value() is false.
```
unique_any(unique_any && other);
```
Move constructor that moves content of other into new instance and leaves other empty.

Postconditions:

other->has_value() is false.

Throws:
Nothing.
```
template<typename T> 
  unique_any(T && value, 
             typename std::enable_if<!std::is_same< T &&, boost::any && >::value >::type * = nullptr);
```
Forwards value, so that the content of the new instance has type std::decay_t<T> and value is the value before the forward.

Throws:
std::bad_alloc or any exceptions arising from the move or copy constructor of the contained type.

template<typename BoostAny> 
  unique_any(BoostAny && value, 
             typename std::enable_if< std::is_same< BoostAny &&, boost::any && >::value >::type * = nullptr) noexcept;

Moves the content of boost::any into *this.

Postconditions:	`value.empty()` is true.
Throws:	Nothing.

```
template<typename T, class... Args> 
  explicit unique_any(in_place_type_t< T >, Args &&... args);
```
Inplace constructs T from forwarded args..., so that the content of *this is equivalent in type to std::decay_t<T>.

Throws:
std::bad_alloc or any exceptions arising from the move or copy constructor of the contained type.
```
template<typename T, typename U, class... Args> 
  explicit unique_any(in_place_type_t< T >, std::initializer_list< U > il, 
                      Args &&... args);
```
Inplace constructs T from li and forwarded args..., so that the initial content of *this is equivalent in type to std::decay_t<T>.

Throws:
std::bad_alloc or any exceptions arising from the move or copy constructor of the contained type.
```
unique_any & operator=(unique_any && rhs);
```
Moves content of rhs into current instance, discarding previous content, so that the new content is equivalent in both type and value to the content of rhs before move, or empty if rhs.empty().

Postconditions:

rhs->empty() is true

Throws:
Nothing.
```
template<typename T> unique_any & operator=(T && rhs);
```
Forwards rhs, discarding previous content, so that the new content of is equivalent in both type and value to rhs before forward.

Throws:
std::bad_alloc or any exceptions arising from the move or copy constructor of the contained type. Assignment satisfies the strong guarantee of exception safety.
```
~unique_any();
```
Releases any and all resources used in management of instance.

Throws:
Nothing.

`unique_any` public member functions

```
template<typename T, class... Args> 
  std::decay< T >::type & emplace(Args &&... args);
```
Inplace constructs T from forwarded args..., discarding previous content, so that the content of *this is equivalent in type to std::decay_t<T>.

Returns:

reference to the content of *this.

Throws:
std::bad_alloc or any exceptions arising from the move or copy constructor of the contained type.
```
template<typename T, typename U, class... Args> 
  std::decay< T >::type & 
  emplace(std::initializer_list< U > il, Args &&... args);
```
Inplace constructs T from li and forwarded args..., discarding previous content, so that the content of *this is equivalent in type to std::decay_t<T>.

Returns:

reference to the content of *this.

Throws:
std::bad_alloc or any exceptions arising from the move or copy constructor of the contained type.
```
void reset() noexcept;
```
Postconditions:

this->has_value() is false.
```
void swap(unique_any & rhs) noexcept;
```
Exchange of the contents of *this and rhs.

Returns:

*this

Throws:
Nothing.
```
bool has_value() const noexcept;
```
Returns:

true if instance is not empty, otherwise false.

Throws:
Nothing.
```
const boost::typeindex::type_info & type() const noexcept;
```
Useful for querying against types known either at compile time or only at runtime.

Returns:

the typeid of the contained value if instance is non-empty, otherwise typeid(void).

Returns:	reference to the content of `*this`.
Throws:	std::bad_alloc or any exceptions arising from the move or copy constructor of the contained type.

Returns:	`true` if instance is not empty, otherwise `false`.
Throws:	Nothing.
