Question regarding boolalpha and lexical_cast for 1.30.0

Hello,

I'm trying to get lexical_cast to convert a std::string to bool; I realize that
this is done with normal IOStreams by using boolalpha.  Is there a way
to do this with lexical_cast?  I saw some old posts in the archives and
they were apparently with older code bases because I was unable to get
their code snippets to work properly [either that or my compiler is
messed up :)].

For reference, I use Visual Studio .NET 2002. 

Thank you very much for any assistance in advance.
