#10530: Attempting to define own lexical cast on solaris has to use deprected
method

     Type:  Bugs                     |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined         |  Component:  lexical_cast
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0             |   Severity:  Regression
 Keywords:                           |
-------------------------------------+--------------------------
 In version 1.41 of boost, it was possible to do (eg this)

     namespace boost
     {
         template <> bool lexical_cast(std::string const &s) { ... };
     }

 In 1.55 this stopped working on sun workshop compiler (Studio 12, version
 5.12) saying 'can't find definition in namespace'.

 I've had to revert to the deprecated pass-by-value declaration but I can't
 find any documentation that indicates that this is necessary or why it
 might have changed.
