Hi Adam,

I would prefer it's named boost::classic::lexical_cast but I'm not sure what
is the policy in other boost libraries (Spirit classic comes to mind but
it's classic in a some other way :)

Also, it would be more efficient to use NULL p_loc for classic rather than
&std::locale::classic() because you could turn

#ifndef BOOST_LEXICAL_CAST_ASSUME_C_LOCALE
...
#endif

into

if(p_loc) {
...
}

.
