Can't reassign this to Kevlin until he enters his email as described at TicketWorkflow

It would be nice to make lexical_cast be handle to

translate through means other than a char-width string. lexical_cast supports wchar_t.

Other options, such as using traits to try to deduce E

from the target type automatically, would be fine, too. lexical_cast deduces E from both target and source types.

(closing it properly this time, unanonymously and with a better formatting)
