My memory on this is quite blurred, but long time ago Terje Slettebo did a complete rewrite of lexical_cast<>, in this direction (I haven't looked at your code though). In the end, however, the current solution was preferred, I guess for its simplicity.
I have to say that, now that a standardization proposal exists for it, which explicitly hints at optimized specializations, your idea is definitely worth applying regardless of what was done illo tempore. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ] [ resume: available on request ]
