The fact that `&Box<dyn Any>` is coercible to `&dyn Any` is such a big footgun ...

What's the issue? I'm probably not thinking of the right context

Usually you want a reference to the `dyn Any` inside the box, `&Box<dyn Any>` will unfortunately be a reference to the box itself, just that the box is now unsized to `dyn Any`.

Ah d'oh, in my head i was assuming you're getting the reference inside the box, didn't even think about getting the reference to the box. That is a massive footgun indeed
