 With GCC, simply including `<boost/lexical_cast.hpp>` is enough to yield
 the following error:

 {{{

 trunk/boost/numeric/conversion/converter.hpp:14:0,
                  from /media/data/dev/svn/boost-
 trunk/boost/numeric/conversion/cast.hpp:32,
                  from /media/data/dev/svn/boost-
 trunk/boost/lexical_cast.hpp:40,
 test.cpp:14:

 /media/data/dev/svn/boost-
 trunk/boost/numeric/conversion/converter_policies.hpp:162:31: error:

 }}}

 It would be nice if Boost.Lexical_cast (and Boost.Numeric Convert that it
 seems to use) could be made to work with exceptions disabled.

 The reason I need this is because Boost.Math seems to depend on
 lexical_cast, and I want to use it without exception support.
