Implement Any for unsized types #30928
Conversation
This is a bit weird since unsized types can't be used in trait objects, but Any is *also* used as pure marker trait since Reflect isn't stable. There are many cases (e.g. TypeMap) where all you need is a TypeId.

I have a vague inkling that we intentionally didn't do this in the past, but trying to recall the reason as to why I have no idea. As a result I'd be fine with this, but would like another sign-off as well. |
