Does not work. I tried sensless thingth like
 <<= *(new double( tmpDouble))
 and CORBA::Double
 same result.
 
 What is realy surprise me that I have a case
 when I do this
 
 Any a1 <<= 1L;
 Any a2 <<= 1.1;
 
 f2.data[0] = a2; // exception
 
 f2.data[0]  <<= a2; // Sends message, but on recieve side
	f2.data[0]   has _tc_any type
	
	
Any difference between long &  double?
I've notice float & double are the special case.
There is a macro HAS_DOUBLE, but ...
