I tried it again, but without success. Using

template< typename T, typename S > T lexical_cast( const S& arg )

and

template<> string lexical_cast< string, char* >( const char*& arg )

results in the following error for me (gcc 2.95.2):

template-id `lexical_cast<string, char *>' for
`lexical_cast(const char *&)' does not match any template declaration

Is this a bug in the gcc or isn't a compiler required by the standard
to accept the above?
