I personally to not feel there is anything wrong per se with the above. The 
reason I did not pursue it was that it introduces a limit on the number of 
the parameters and I did not see it offering any major advantages to balance 
that shortcoming over the supported

int i = convert<int>::from(str, 0)(locale_ = new_locale)(throw_ = true);

On the other hand the supported interface seems to scale considerably better 
and is no longer to type:

int i = convert<int>::from(str, 0)(locale_ = new_locale)(throw_ = true);
int i = convert<int>::from(str, 0, locale_ = new_locale, throw_ = true);
