By scanning briefly through the property_tree implementation I noticed that it
uses its own stream_translator<> class for string-to-other_type and vice verse 
conversions. The functionality seems very similar/overlapping to that of 
lexical_cast (and also uses streams), if this is true this part of 
property_tree should probably be refactored to use lexical_cast so that it gets 
implicitly 'fixed' when/if lexical_cast gets fixed (regarding the issues 
outlined in the previous relevant post).
