Not yet. The library itself work fine but there is no documentation.

It would easy to add the same functionality to lexical_cast where I think it 
belongs. Having two different libraries doing the same thing is not a good 
idea.

Problem is that the interface for lexical_cast is fixed and it is explicitly 
stated in the documenatation that suggestions for extra arguments will not be 
considered.
