In which case the best option is either that the lexical_cast
implementation sit out 1.30.0 or that wchar_t support is disabled as
that seems to be the source of the fun. From the compiler messages I am
seeing, it is uncertain whether Terje's trial implementation would have
faired uniformly better.
