Oops, I misread the code. This would work for any target type that has a constructor which accepts a (const) char *. This is a good suggestion, and it's kind of an extension to Gennadiy's proposal (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/lexical_cast_propositions/proposi tion1.cpp), which constructs the stringstream directly from a string, if the _source_ is a string. Your proposal covers if the _target_ is a string. I was going to add Gennadiy's proposal, and I'll add yours, as well. Thanks for the suggestion.
