In which case, the values need a common base class, e.g.:

	class MY_Value {
	...
	};

	template <typename T>
	class MY_Value_T : public MY_Value {
	...
	};

	std::vector<MY_Value*> v;

	MyValue_T<int> iV1 = 1;
	MyValue_T<float> iV2 = 2.1;
	v[0] = static_cast<MY_Value*>(&iV1);
	v[1] = static_cast<MY_Value*>(&iV2);

Casting the vector elements back to their correct type is a bit more
involved, as you need to know what their correct type is, either by
using RTTI or by explicitly adding a tag field to the base class.
