If you support more types in the MRL file which are then
mapped to an Any to bring it into the object system, does
these types have the TypeCode "Type_Any" or something like
"Type_Unknown" or
"Type_User"
(having an MM_Any with TypeCode "Type_Any" sounds odd).
"Type_Unknown" or "Type_User" would switch off type checking
completely.
