Description Nikita Krjukov 2008-11-18 20:26:16 UTC 
According to XML Schema specification, the xsd:anyType "represents an abstraction called the ur-type which is the base
type from which all simple and complex types are derived". 
It's necessary to create the new special case of Type Cast, which will be used if the casted component has the anyType
type. 

In case of standard TypeCast the chooser dialog suggests only types derived from the casted. 
Unlike the standard TypeCast, the dialog for the new use-case should provide any accessible schema types because any
type can be considered as derived from xsd:anyType.

Although the changeset is not big, it isn't atomic. It contains another improvements.
