Conversion isn't about string <-> type. You should try the proposed Coerce library for fast string <-> type conversions, esp if you are willing to spare some compile time in exchange.
Ah I see now, having scanned the documentation. The original post mentioned something that it would support T <-> string. To answer the original question: I have no practical use for this library. But then again, it is probably most useful for (templated-) library writers. 2 side remarks: 1) Do i correctly understand that there will be 3 Boost libraries dealing with string conversion (Boost.Convert, Coerce, lexical_cast). 2) I get constantly 'You have lines longer than 80 characters. Fix that.' when posting from gmane.
