Also are you adding array of char as an input specialization? I like the way it avoids the strlen for const char literals on the rhs.
Yes I am, the specific specializations can be found at

lines 120 to 165
The fixed-size array-of-char specializations seem like a good idea, but (the user) can fall into the same trap as the (v3) filesystem constructor does (trac #4640), e.g.:
char buffer[100]; strcpy(buffer, "100"); construe_cast<int>(buffer);
Depending on how the size (100) is taken into account, this may or may not be an issue.
Since the string is null-terminated this is not a problem. If for instance you cast "123\0456" to an int it will succeed and return 123, as far as I'm aware this behaviour is similar to lexical_cast. Jeroen
