+  <description>
+    <p>This module contains functions that gives an interface to the CORBA any type.</p>
+    <p>Note that the <c>any</c> interface in orber does not contain a destroy 
+      function because the any type is represented as an Erlang record and 
+      therefor will be removed by the garbage collector when not in use.</p>
+    <p>The type <c>TC</c> used below describes an IDL type and is a tuple according 
+      to the to the Erlang language mapping.</p>
+    <p>The type <c>Any</c> used below is defined as:</p>
+    <code type="none">
+      -record(any, {typecode, value}).
+    </code>
+    <p>where <c>typecode</c> is a TC tuple and <c>value</c> is an Erlang term of 
+      the type defined by the typecode field.</p>
