 I love the idea![[BR]]
 Also, I was thinking about providing optimized conversions for
 iterator_range<SOME_CHAR_TYPE> (described in ticket #6430). I think it
 would be a good solution for situations, when input chars are not NULL
 terminated. Such approach will be described in FAQ section of lexical_cast
 documentation.
