You are right. lexical_cast does work with string_ref.

I overlooked the fact that lexical_cast works with both pointer+size
and iterator_range ranges.

More specifically, I overlooked the fact that lexical_cast uses
string_ref::operator<< to obtain the data (and I guess that this is
why Boost.Spirit generally outperforms lexical_cast.)

Sorry about the noise.
