So I'd favour accepting Boost.Convert, but being prepared to fairly quickly deprecate/supersede it in favour of
* A new version of lexical_cast which does take more arguments.
and/or
* a really slick version using Spirit (GSoC project?).
FWIW, I'm going to mentor such a GSoC project this year: Finalizing Coerce - a conversion library on top of Boost.Spirit (the student is Jeroen Habraken a.k.a VeXocide). I believe this will give us the functionality you're looking for. Regards Hartmut --------------- http://boost-spirit.com
