need <T> T anyInstance(Classs<T>) matcher with Type verification

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
The following is easy code to demonstrate the problem.

@Test
public void testAny() {
    Comparator x = mock(Comparator.class);
    x.compare(new Object(), new Object());
    verify(x).compare(any(String.class), any(String.class));
}

I know that in this example, adding the generic types to Comparator could 
expose a type issue, but slightly more elaborate examples without generics can 
result in the same problem

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What is expected is for the any() to do more than typesafe casting, but to 
actually match the type.  This test should intuitively fail, but it passes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.8.4, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

I propose: T <T> anyInstance(Class<T>) matcher.  We have added one to our 
project.  I am not sure how resilient it is, but the code is attached.

I just found T <T> isA(Class<T>).  I had only been looking at all of the 
anyXXX() methods for something that would work.  Thanks for a great product.
