[Boost-users] locale for lexical_cast?

Hello!

Is it possible to set a locale for the lexical_cast? It looks like that 
it is only possible to convert english/us numbers to a string?

Example:

float a = boost::lexical_cast<float>("12,3");

This would be in english 12.3. But I get a bad_cast exception for german 
numbers.

A locale would be very helpful.
