[boost] Documentation bug in boost::any

There is a bug in the sample code which cause me a lot of grief in 
understanding how boost::any functions, this morning. At:

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/any/s02.html

The code:
---
bool is_string(const boost::any & operand)
{
    return any_cast<std::string>(&operand);
}
should read:
bool is_string(const boost::any & operand)
{
    return any_cast<std::string *>(&operand);
}
---
Notice the addition of the asterisk.
Thanks,
Michael Goldshteyn
