| Invoke the specified `accessor` on the value held by this object supplying `accessor` with an object of `bdlat_TypeCategory::Simple` type for any type except `bsl::vector<char>`. The latter is supplied with an object of `bdlat_TypeCategory::Array` type. The supplied `accessor` must be an object callable with a value of any simple type as if it had the following signature: ` int accessor(const VALUE& value, bdlat_TypeCategory::Simple); // and int accessor(const bsl::vector<char>& value, bdlat_TypeCategory::Array); ` Return the value from the invocation of `accessor`.
