Would anyone like to share any practical or motivating applications for the proposed Boost.Conversion library?
I cannot answer for the advanced use, but we are definitely interested in a fast (locale independent) conversion from int/long/double to string. The good old sprintf seems to beat the stringstream by a factor 2. This is important when you do a large export (e.g. million data points) to csv or Excel (e.g. export drops then from 20 minutes to 10 minutes).
