Bugs in lexical_cast<unsigned_char> and <long long>

Description
The following expressions throw bad_lexical_cast exceptions, when I believe they should succeed just fine:
boost::lexical_cast<unsigned char>("128");
boost::lexical_cast<unsigned char>("64");
Conversion from smaller numbers such as "2" work just fine

lexical_cast library works just like std::stringstream. Lexical conversion to char, signed char and unsigned char is simply reading a byte from source but since the source has more than one byte, the exception is thrown.
Such situations are described in FAQ, but not very obvious. I'll update the FAQ.
