My build fails with Boost 1.60.0 beta 1 due to a change in boost/lexical_cast.hpp that is a revert of a change made in 1.59.0.

The change in 1.59.0 is commit bdc3557. The revert is 424320d9a18b17c55c86012673722ca1b42dcfa9 (https://github.com/boostorg/lexical_cast/commit/424320d9a18b17c55c86012673722ca1b42dcfa9).

The comment for the commit doesn't really explain why the change was reverted.

I'm using GCC 4.4.7 on CentOS 6.

Regards,
Shane Turner
