another question is why does lexical_cast treat int8_t and uint8_t like char? technically I see no reason for this as c++ has three types: char, signed char and unsigned char.

I might be wrong, but aren't there only two types, signed char and unsigned char, with unqualified char being equivalent to one of them (depending on platform)? -- Olaf
