I like the idea of a library for converting to and from strings.

I have two comments:

1) I don't like the string namespace. I would prefer to use boost::to_string and boost::from_string:

std::string s=boost::to_string(x)

reads better than

std::string s=boost::string::to(x).

I think so too; much more straightforward. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
