I think it is reasonable to capture to_string() as a standard, extrinsic function template that returns a std::string from T. Each T must supply a specialization that does the right thing, of course, I was expecting it to be a wrapper around lexical_cast.
stoi(), stoll(), stof(), stod() seem less useful, though providing a portable C++03 implementation wouldn't be bad. Don't those functions require std::string as input? I'd be nice to have generic variants.
BTW, this recall me that during the Boost.Conversion review we stated that we don't have a best way to convert builtin types to and from strings. It seems that the people writing the standard have decided to choose one of the possible conversions without too much trouble. Best, Vicente
