boost::lexical_cast<char>(' ')

[redcube]

the following code throws an exception:       
       
boost::lexical_cast<char>(' ');       
    
but the correct behavior should be that it does not throw an      
exception.      
      
The error is caused by skipping all whitespace of the argument. In my      
opinion this is never needed and just a bug.      
      
I've added a small patch to boost/lexical_cast.hpp (v1.3) which fixes 
this.
