Good point.
I hope the answer is:
- short circuited;
- type need not to be streamable.

If you use lexical_cast to cast between identical types,
eg. lexical_cast< int >( 4 );
does it go through all the machinery of streaming out and back, or
does it short circuit? In those circumstances, does the type need
to be streamable?
Thanks, Rob.
