|  | 	`Any` is a type that is compatible with any other in both ways. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | 	This means that a value of any type can be assigned to `Any`, and | ||
|  | 	vice-versa, a value of `Any` type can be assigned to any other type. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | 	It's a more type-safe alternative to `Dynamic`, because it doesn't | ||
|  | 	support field access or operators and it's bound to monomorphs. So,
 | ||
|  | 	to work with the actual value, it needs to be explicitly promoted | ||
|  | 	to another type. | ||
