$any() type cast function #48781
Description
Describe the problem that you experienced
Normally you try to avoid function/method calls when inside the template (with exception being in the action expression) because angular cannot know for sure the function/method is pure. For that reason it is preferred to use a pipe where one needs to keep it pure or define it is not.
In this documentation the $any() function is called. It is not indicated if this will have any effect on performance, as it seems to have the issue I talk about in the paragraph above. OR is this a "special method" where angular knows it pure and thus has no impact on performance.

Describe what you were looking for in the documentation
An indication if (or not) using this method has impact on performance due to it being a method vs. a pipe.
