Review Comment:
   > Should we revert the new `:Any` instead? I think it was just supposed to 
be a cleanup but we didn't realize it would have downstream impacts 🤔 
   
   @alamb Honestly I prefer the new API with `downcast_delegate`: it's explicit 
and clearer.
   
   > Also I wonder if there is some way to avoid using as_any / delegating 
logic at all ... But to do that we would have to remove all uses of as_any / 
downcasting I suspect
   
   That would be a pretty big breaking change as well, as the `is a` check is 
quite widespread.
