8970	Karma fails to output a sign with a user-defined real number policy	alex.korobka@…	Hartmut Kaiser	"Snippet that shows the problem:

#include <iostream> \\
#include <boost/spirit/include/karma.hpp> \\
using namespace boost::spirit; \\
template <typename Num> struct signed_policy : \\
karma::real_policies<Num> {
    static bool force_sign(Num n) { return true; }
}; \\
int main() { \\
    std::string s; \\
    std::back_insert_iterator<std::string> sink(s); \\
    karma::generate(sink,
        karma::real_generator<double,signed_policy<double> >(), \\
        -0.123
    );
    std::cout << s << std::endl; \\
    return 0; \\
}

This prints "" 0.123"" instead of ""-0.123"".

The problem is due to the recent argument change in integer_part() policy method.

        template <typename OutputIterator> \\
        static bool integer_part (OutputIterator& sink, T n, bool sign, bool force_sign)
        { \\
            return sign_inserter::call(sink,
                                       traits::test_zero(n), \\
                                       sign, force_sign) &&
                   int_inserter<10>::call(sink, n);
        }

Argument 'T n' previously used to hold the entire floating point value. Now it holds only the integer part, hence the test_zero(n) is not sufficient anymore when the actual value is in the range of (-1 : 0) or (0, -1).
