    Great. But it seems this might take some time. While changes I proposed 
are quite simple requiring little work. As a proof of that I attach 
lexical_cast.hpp changed to cover what I proposed.
    I have added classic_lexical_cast which uses std::locale::classic() 
during the casting. Both version propagate std::locale object to be used. If 
traditional version is used a NULL pointer is propagated so nothing actually 
changes and overhead should be marginal.
    Adding a cat (or other function) which takes arbitrary object should be 
easy with this code however I have not done it since I don't need it.

    What do you think about those changes? Can they be included in Boost 
1.40?
