/// \brief Function for extracting a value stored in a Boxed_Value object
/// \tparam Type The type to extract from the Boxed_Value
/// \param[in] bv The Boxed_Value to extract a typed value from
/// \returns Type equivalent to the requested type
/// \throws exception::bad_boxed_cast If the requested conversion is not possible
///
/// boxed_cast will attempt to make conversions between value, &, *, std::shared_ptr, std::reference_wrapper,
/// and std::function (const and non-const) where possible. boxed_cast is used internally during function
/// dispatch. This means that all of these conversions will be attempted automatically for you during
/// ChaiScript function calls.
///
/// \li non-const values can be extracted as const or non-const
/// \li const values can be extracted only as const
/// \li Boxed_Value constructed from pointer or std::reference_wrapper can be extracted as reference,
/// pointer or value types
/// \li Boxed_Value constructed from std::shared_ptr or value types can be extracted as reference,
/// pointer, value, or std::shared_ptr types
///
/// Conversions to std::function objects are attempted as well
///
/// Example:
/// \code
/// // All of the following should succeed
/// chaiscript::Boxed_Value bv(1);
/// std::shared_ptr<int> spi = chaiscript::boxed_cast<std::shared_ptr<int> >(bv);
/// int i = chaiscript::boxed_cast<int>(bv);
/// int *ip = chaiscript::boxed_cast<int *>(bv);
/// int &ir = chaiscript::boxed_cast<int &>(bv);
/// std::shared_ptr<const int> cspi = chaiscript::boxed_cast<std::shared_ptr<const int> >(bv);
/// const int ci = chaiscript::boxed_cast<const int>(bv);
/// const int *cip = chaiscript::boxed_cast<const int *>(bv);
/// const int &cir = chaiscript::boxed_cast<const int &>(bv);
/// \endcode
///
/// std::function conversion example
/// \code
/// chaiscript::ChaiScript chai;
/// Boxed_Value bv = chai.eval("`+`"); // Get the functor for the + operator which is built in
/// std::function<int (int, int)> f = chaiscript::boxed_cast<std::function<int (int, int)> >(bv);
/// int i = f(2,3);
/// assert(i == 5);
/// \endcode
