In particular I want to use them in Boost.Chrono. Of course, in the mean time I'm using lexical_cast. Have you already a clear idea of the namespace of these functions? boost? boost::string_conversions?
Have no idea about the namespace name. I`ll think about it later. Function overloads for boost::containers::basic_string will be in namespace boost::containers (to allow ADL), and will be imported in the namespace of the to_string library.
IMO, I would prefer just boost, as these are standard functions.
Some of the boost users write "using namespace boost; using namespace std;" in their projects, so I think it would be better to place thous functions in a separate namespace to avoid ambiguity. Best regards, Antony Polukhin
