+Subclause [[any]](any "22.7 Storage for any type") describes components that C++ programs may use to perform operations on objects of a discriminated type[.](#1.sentence-1)

+[*Note [1](#note-1)*:
+
+The discriminated type can contain values of different types but does not attempt conversion between them,
+i.e., 5 is held strictly as an int and is not implicitly convertible either to "5" or to 5.0[.](#2.sentence-1)
+
+This indifference to interpretation but awareness of type effectively allows safe, generic containers of single values, with no scope for surprises from ambiguous conversions[.](#2.sentence-2)
