Theoretically, at the root of AutoHotkey's type hierarchy lies the "Any" type. All other types are a sub-type of Any, except ComObject (which is excluded from further consideration on this page). Currently the Any type exists only as a prototype object which sits at the end of every value's chain of base objects. For further details, see Primitive Values.
The Any prototype object defines methods and properties that are applicable to all values and objects unless overridden. The prototype object itself is natively an Object, but has no base and therefore does not identify as an instance of Object.
Methods:
Properties:
Functions:
Retrieves the implementation function of a method.
Value.GetMethod(Name)
This method is exactly equivalent to GetMethod(Value, Name), unless overridden.
Returns true if BaseObj is in Value's chain of base objects, otherwise false.
Value.HasBase(BaseObj)
This method is exactly equivalent to HasBase(Value, BaseObj), unless overridden.
Returns true if the value has a method by this name, otherwise false.
Value.HasMethod(Name)
This method is exactly equivalent to HasMethod(Value, Name), unless overridden.
Returns true if the value has a property by this name, otherwise false.
Value.HasProp(Name)
This method is exactly equivalent to HasProp(Value, Name), unless overridden.
Retrieves the value's base object.
BaseObj := Value.Base
For primitive values, the return value is the pre-defined prototype object corresponding to Type(Value).

Returns the value's base object.
BaseObj := ObjGetBase(Value)
No meta-functions or property functions are called. Overriding the Base property does not affect the behaviour of this function.
If there is no base, the return value is an empty string. Only COM objects and the Any prototype itself have no base.
