lexical_cast<int>("1e4") == 1 // because of the way streams work of course

I think that in the interests of robustness, and unless a better
solution can be found, lexical_cast<> should be secialized for some
types.

Another solution might be to make sure that the whole string argument
got consumed (rejecting things like "123 " )
