If you need it for performance, we had a discussion about lexical_cast performance issues some time ago in thread named "lexical_cast with default value", and I googled other discussions too by searching for "lexical_cast performance".
Yes, exactly for performance.
We weren't able to provide enough arguments for such specialization, and ended with a need for fast numeric conversion library which won't be related to lexical_cast at all.
