In generic code lexical_cast<> is sometimes used as a cast to the same type. I would like to shortcut this rather then going all the way by writing it to a stream and reading back.

Do you mean you sometimes use lexical_cast to cast between two types, neither of which is std::string?

Rather both of them are. Do you still need an example? -- Maxim Yegorushkin
