Any values can be dynamically interpreted (traversed) and constructed through
-DynAny objects. A DynAny object is associated with a data
-value which corresponds to a copy of the value inserted into an Any. A
-DynAny object may be viewed as an ordered collection of component
-DynAnys. For DynAnys representing a basic type, such as long,
+DynAny objects. A DynAny object is associated with a data
+value which corresponds to a copy of the value inserted into an Any. A
+DynAny object may be viewed as an ordered collection of component
+DynAnys. For DynAnys representing a basic type, such as long,
or a type without components, such as an empty exception, the ordered collection of
components is empty.

Each DynAny object maintains the notion of a current position into its collection
+of component DynAnys. The current position is identified by an index value that runs
from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of components. The special index value -1
indicates a current position that points nowhere.
For values that cannot have a current position (such as an empty exception),
