It could, but it isn't. Remember that int8_t etc. are from C.
However, char, signed char, and unsigned char are different types. int8_t is supposed to be typedef'd as signed char, which is a different type than char. I do not see any reason lexical_cast<int8_t>() or lexical_cast<signed char>() should be treated the same way as lexical_cast<char> since the internal C++ type mechanisms treat "char" "signed char" and "unsigned char" as completely different types...
