Comment (by cheng.yang <luckyangcheng@…>):

 Totally, there are 3 cases when wchar_t is defined as unsigned short:

 Case 1) User do lexical_cast for unsigned short, here no wchar_t defined.
 Case 2) User do lexical_cast for unsigned short, but wchar_t defined.
 Case 3) User do lexical_cast for wchar_t.

 For all the cases, you can only cast unsigned short to one of the type,
 wchar_t or a number.
 It's just like: You can't have your cake and eat it too.
