I think a lot of people will be more than happy to have char and wchar
versions of these function.

In particular I want to use them in Boost.Chrono. Of course, in the mean
time I'm using lexical_cast. Have you already a clear idea of the namespace
of these functions? boost? boost::string_conversions? 

IMO, I would prefer just boost, as these are standard functions.

Thanks for your effort,
Vicente
