I can't tell: "Note that spaces are significant in any conversion and
are not skipped" is not meaningful to me. I had the impression that
the semantics with respect to embedded space handling had changed so
that lexical_cast<std::string>("foo bar") == std::string("foo bar"),
but that's the only phrase which even comes close to being applicable
in the last year of changes to the docs.
