Hi,

are we discussing here a generic interface from type-to-type or one that uses an intermediary stream to make the conversion?

If it is the first I could accept names as convert_cast or convert_to. If it is the second, I don't think it is appropriated to use this generic form and something in the name must recall this feature. lexical_cast is used for exactly this purpose and the name is appropriated. How could we rename the Boost.Convert library? Boost.StreamConvert? and the operations?

Best,
vicente
