Here is one more comment from me:

I get the impression that you changed the default
behavior to rounding instead of truncating;
i.e. numeric_cast<int>(5.7) == 6.

I am not sure what the best choice for the
default behavior should be,
but I definitely need truncating.

Is there a simple way to obtain truncating?
