Summary
Add support for converting between
gz::msgs::Any
andrcl_interfaces/msg/ParameterValue
.This is used in support of MBZIRC's RF ranging sensor: osrf/mbzirc#151 to avoid adding custom messages that won't be supported by the bridge.
Both of these types use a "tagged union" approach to represent multiple datatypes within a single message.
Currently, the supported types have overlap for the most common types, but aren't identical. When an unsupported type is converted, the resulting message will be unpopulated.
