I just updated the vault with a new and heavily improved version of
string_c_to_double,
which compiles much faster than the original one. It builds up the
number using compile time constants, and iterates through the literals
in the string using BOOST_PP macros.
Compile time of the conforming string_c_to_double now matches the
compile time of the non-conforming BOOST_DOUBLE macro.
