        The converter started as a deployment example (with the std::strtol
        family of functions as its conversion engine) and a part of the performance-test
        set. Surprisingly, the converter showed fairly decent all-around performance
        (see Converters
        Compared) and, consequently, has been rewritten and extended to provide
        additional conversion support and formatting. At the moment it seems to be
        a good choice with moderate formatting facilities and adequate performance.
      
        It should be noted though that the converter is nowhere as mature as boost::cnv::lexical_cast
        or boost::cnv::stream
        and, therefore, bugs are to be expected.
