Description
At http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/doc/html/any/s02.html it seems that the examples functions is_char_ptr & is_string are exchanged.
any_cast<const char *> shouldn't throw but it's in a try block while any_cast<std::string> result should be a string that's not convertible to bool contrary to what's done.

The documentation is correct.
a) any_cast<const char*>(operand) can throw because operand is passed by reference b) any_cast<std::string>(&operand) returns std::string* because the operand is a pointer.
