[Boost-users] Re: lexical_cast

Is this library freely available? Not yet. The library itself work fine but there is no documentation.

It also sounds like a good addition to boost itself...

It would easy to add the same functionality to lexical_cast where I think it belongs. Having two different libraries doing the same thing is not a good idea. Problem is that the interface for lexical_cast is fixed and it is explicitly stated in the documenatation that suggestions for extra arguments will not be considered.
