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.

Terje
