Hello Boost Users,

boost::lexical_cast fails to compile when both Target and Source template
parameters are
std::basic_string instantiations with different traits because
deduce_char_traits
class template has two suitable instantiations which are ambiguous.

This is example where I use custom basic_string that is case insensitive:

Thanks.
