<p>Personally I’d like a shortcut like <code>AnyType</code>, but it
won’t work as a typealias, because it will create a circle
reference between <code>AnyType</code> and
<code>AnyType&lt;T&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>However, there is a small possibility that this type might be
generalized like <code>Any</code> (now possibly
<code>AnyObject</code>) directly into the language. That would
probably allow us to use <code>AnyType</code> as a shortcut to
<code>AnyType&lt;Any&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if this should be part of our proposal or not. I’d
like to have some more feedback from the core team on this one.</p>
