Natural sort

Description

Alphabetically sorting gives unwanted results for humans. For example the following strings get sorted this way: Arena 1 Arena 10 Arena 2

What humans like is: Arena 1 Arena 2 Arena 10

This is not trivial since the numbers can appear anywhere. Would this be a nice extension for Boost as well? Microsoft has solved this in StrCmpLogicalW. See also 'sorting-for-humans-natural-sort-order' (can't include a link; I get a trac-think-it-is-a-spam error)
