Hi, I have tried to read config file using boost::program_options
where I have large floating pointing numbers like 

[test_section]
test = 1.432e43

but seems that I get bad an error message
"boost::bad_any_cast: failed conversion using boost::any_cast"
when I am reading the value from program_options::variables_map.
Reading works perfectly when I am using numbers like 

[test_section]
a = 13.62

but scientific format fails. Should I tell to variables_map somehow
what is the format of floating point numbers or should I do 
something else?
