You might be interested in boost.coerce, a type-to-string and string-to-type conversion library. The code can be found at http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/coerce/ and an initial version of the documentation at http://vexocide.org/coerce/.
It has the following customization points: http://vexocide.org/coerce/coerce/traits/string/is_string.html and http://vexocide.org/coerce/coerce/traits/string/string_traits.html, which would allow you to teach it about boost::iterator_range<std::string::iterator>.
If I find time I'll write a small example.
Unless I'm missing something, using Spirit in a header-only conversion library is pretty much a non-starter due to the compile time -explosion- hit. If you moved the inclusion of Spirit into a CPP I'd definitely consider it. Thanks, -Matt
