[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 132325] Basic: Any keyword is not documented

--- Comment #2 from Rafael Lima <rafael.palma.lima at gmail.com> ---
As shown in the link below, ANY is indeed a synonym for VARIANT, as pointed out
by Alain (an "alias").
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/basic/source/comp/dim.cxx?r=b80069e1#95

The funny thing is that I was unable to find a help page dedicated to Variant.

There's a page about Basic variables, but no mention to the Variant type:
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/01020100.html?DbPAR=BASIC#bm_id3149346

The only mention to Variant I could find is here, but not very useful to
explain the data type.
https://help.libreoffice.org/7.1/en-US/text/sbasic/shared/03103600.html?DbPAR=BASIC#bm_id3143267

My suggestion is to create a few examples in the "Using Variables" help page
describing the Variant type and adding a note saying that "Any" is an alias for
Variant.
