+		<h2><a name="motivation">Motivation</a></h2>
+		Sometimes a value must be converted to a literal text form, such as an <code>int</code>
+		represented as a <code>string</code>, or vice-versa, when a <code>string</code> 
+		is interpreted as an <code>int</code>. Such examples are common when converting 
+		between data types internal to a program and representation external to a 
+		program, such as windows and configuration files.
+		<p>
+		The standard C and C++ libraries offer a number of facilities for performing 
+		such conversions. However, they vary with their ease of use, extensibility, and 
+		safety.
+		<p>
+			For instance, there are a number of limitations with the family of standard C 
+			functions typified by <code>atoi</code>:
+			<ul type="square">
+				<li>
+					Conversion is supported in one direction only: from text to internal data type. 
+					Converting the other way using the C library requires either the inconvenience 
+					and compromised safety of the <code>sprintf</code> function, or the loss of 
+					portability associated with non-standard functions such as <code>itoa</code>.
+				</li>
+				<li>
+					The range of types supported is only a subset of the built-in numeric types, 
+					namely <code>int</code>, <code>long</code>, and <code>double</code>.
+				</li>
+				<li>
+					The range of types cannot be extended in a uniform manner. For instance, 
+					conversion from string representation to <code>complex</code> or <code>rational</code>.
+				</li>
+			</ul>
+			The standard C functions typified by <code>strtol</code> have the same basic 
+			limitations, but offer finer control over the conversion process. However, for 
+			the common case such control is often either not required or not used. The <code>scanf</code>
+		family of functions offer even greater control, but also lack safety and ease 
+		of use.
+		<p>
+			The standard C++ library offers <code>stringstream</code> for the kind of 
+			in-core formatting being discussed. It offers a great deal of control over the 
+			formatting and conversion of I/O to and from arbitrary types through text. 
+			However, for simple conversions direct use of <code>stringstream</code> can be 
+			either clumsy (with the introduction of extra local variables and the loss of 
+			infix-expression convenience) or obscure (where <code>stringstream</code>
+		objects are created as temporary objects in an expression). Facets provide a 
+		comprehensive concept and facility for controlling textual representation, but 
+		their perceived complexity and high entry level requires an extreme degree of 
+		involvement for simple conversions, and excludes all but a few programmers.
+		<p>
+			The <code>lexical_cast</code> function template offers a convenient and 
+			consistent form for supporting common conversions to and from arbitrary types 
+			when they are represented as text. The simplification it offers is in 
+			expression-level convenience for such conversions. For more involved 
+			conversions, such as where precision or formatting need tighter control than is 
+			offered by the default behavior of <code>lexical_cast</code>, the conventional <code>
+				stringstream</code> approach is recommended. Where the conversions are 
+			numeric to numeric, <code><a href="../numeric/conversion/doc/numeric_cast.html">numeric_cast</a></code>
+			may offer more reasonable behavior than <code>lexical_cast</code>.
+		<p>
+			For a good discussion of the options and issues involved in string-based 
+			formatting, including comparison of <code>stringstream</code>, <code>lexical_cast</code>, 
+			and others, see Herb Sutter's article, <a href="http://www.gotw.ca/publications/mill19.htm">

+			The following example treats command line arguments as a sequence of numeric 
+			data: <blockquote>
+				<pre>int main(int argc, char * argv[])
+{
+    using boost::lexical_cast;
+    using boost::bad_lexical_cast;
+
+    std::vector&lt;short&gt; args;

+        catch(bad_lexical_cast &amp;)
+        {
+            args.push_back(0);
+        }
+    }
+    ...
+}
+</pre>
+			</blockquote>The following example uses numeric data in a string expression: <blockquote>
+				<pre>void log_message(const std::string &amp;);
+
+void log_errno(int yoko)
+{
+    log_message(&quot;Error &quot; + boost::lexical_cast&lt;std::string&gt;(yoko) + &quot;: &quot; + strerror(yoko));

+			</blockquote>Returns the result of streaming <code>arg</code> into a
+			standard library string-based stream and then out as a <code>Target</code> object.
+			Where <code>Target</code> is either <code>std::string</code>
+			or <code>std::wstring</code>, stream extraction takes the whole content
+			of the string, including spaces, rather than relying on the default
+			<code>operator&gt;&gt;</code> behavior.
+			If the conversion is unsuccessful, a <a href="#bad_lexical_cast">
+				<code>bad_lexical_cast</code></a> exception is thrown.
+		<p>
+			The requirements on the argument and result types are:
+			<ul type="square">
+				<li>
+					<code>Source</code> is <i>OutputStreamable</i>, meaning that an <code>operator&lt;&lt;</code>
+					is defined that takes a <code>std::ostream</code> or <code>std::wostream</code> object on the
+					left hand side and an instance of the argument type on the right.
+				</li>
+				<li>
+					<code>Target</code> is <i>InputStreamable</i>, meaning that an <code>operator&gt;&gt;</code>
+					is defined that takes a <code>std::istream</code> or <code>std::wistream</code> object on the left hand side 
+					and an instance of the result type on the right.
+				</li>
+				<li>
+					Both <code>Source</code> and <code>Target</code> are <i>CopyConstructible</i> [20.1.3].
+				</li>
+				<li>
+					<code>Target</code> is <i>DefaultConstructible</i>, meaning that it is possible 
+					to <i>default-initialize</i> an object of that type [8.5, 20.1.4].
+				</li>
+			</ul>
+			The character type of the underlying stream is assumed to be <code>char</code> unless
+			either the <code>Source</code> or the <code>Target</code> requires wide-character
+			streaming, in which case the underlying stream uses <code>wchar_t</code>.
+			<code>Source</code> types that require wide-character streaming are <code>wchar_t</code>,
+			<code>wchar_t *</code>, and <code>std::wstring</code>. <code>Target</code> types that
+			require wide-character streaming are <code>wchar_t</code> and <code>std::wstring</code>.
+			<p>
+			Where a higher degree of control is required over conversions, <code>std::stringstream</code>
+			and <code>std::wstringstream</code> offer a more appropriate path. Where non-stream-based conversions are 
+			required, <code>lexical_cast</code>
+		is the wrong tool for the job and is not special-cased for such scenarios.

+<h3>June 2005:</h3>
+<ul type="square">
+  <li>Call-by-const reference for the parameters. This requires partial specialization 
+    of class templates, so it doesn't work for MSVC 6, and it uses the original 
+    pass by value there.<br>
+  </li>
+  <li>The MSVC 6 support is deprecated, and will be removed in a future Boost 
+    version. </li>
+</ul>
+<h3>Earlier:</h3>
+	
+<ul type="square">
+  <li>The previous version of <code>lexical_cast</code> used the default stream 
+    precision for reading and writing floating-point numbers. For numerics that 
+    have a corresponding specialization of <code>std::numeric_limits</code>, the 
+    current version now chooses a precision to match. <br>
+  <li>The previous version of <code>lexical_cast</code> did not support conversion 
+    to or from any wide-character-based types. For compilers with full language 
+    and library support for wide characters, <code>lexical_cast</code> now supports 
+    conversions from <code>wchar_t</code>, <code>wchar_t *</code>, and <code>std::wstring</code> 
+    and to <code>wchar_t</code> and <code>std::wstring</code>. <br>
+  <li>The previous version of <code>lexical_cast</code> assumed that the conventional 
+    stream extractor operators were sufficient for reading values. However, string 
+    I/O is asymmetric, with the result that spaces play the role of I/O separators 
+    rather than string content. The current version fixes this error for <code>std::string</code> 
+    and, where supported, <code>std::wstring</code>: <code>lexical_cast&lt;std::string&gt;("Hello, 
+    World")</code> succeeds instead of failing with a <code>bad_lexical_cast</code> 
+    exception. <br>
+  <li>The previous version of <code>lexical_cast</code> allowed unsafe and meaningless 
+    conversions to pointers. The current version now throws a <code>bad_lexical_cast</code> 
+    for conversions to pointers: <code>lexical_cast&lt;char *&gt;("Goodbye, World")</code> 
+    now throws an exception instead of causing undefined behavior.
