Unfortunately itoa is not portable. Alternatives include using sprintf,
stringstream or stream_cast, which was designed for exactly this
purpose. stream_cast is currently languishing in the vaults. I should
get round to posting the more customisable traits based model that
defaults to, but no longer relies on, streams -- the new version works,
it's just in need of some documentation ;->
