It would be nice if it's not a big deal to do, as I expect lexical cast
will continue to support c++03.  And the warnings show up in date-time, icl
and probably other libraries that have lexical cast -- or include
date-time.  But really, only if it's simple to do.

Which seems entirely reasonable given that 03 is really 98 so we are
talking about 20 years...
