// An `absl::bad_any_cast` type is an exception type that is thrown when
// failing to successfully cast the return value of an `absl::any` object.
//
// Example:
//
//   auto a = absl::any(65);
//   absl::any_cast<int>(a);         // 65
//   try {
//     absl::any_cast<char>(a);
//   } catch(const absl::bad_any_cast& e) {
//     std::cout << "Bad any cast: " << e.what() << '\n';
//   }
