I have a couple of functions that all return a different type and I decided to go with a Box as the return type.
I have sort of coded myself into a corner in the sense that there are several other functions that need to know the concrete type of the values returned in the Box.
I resulted to using the code below, initially I thought I could get convert the the inner type into any type to (dumb me) but I realized that it doesn't work like that. The downcasting only works if the inner value is of the type you are downcasting to, else you get a None.
(&*box_dyn_any_type).downcast_ref::<f64>().unwrap().clone();
My question are there methods to do the downcasting in the way that I want or I should totally change the return type of the impl and use let's say an enum that has variants that cover all the types, the my functions return
