in order to remove the dependency from iterator to conversion I suggest

to move |boost/implicit_cast.hpp to MPL.

That makes no semantic sense at all. Breaking dependencies is nice, but not at the cost of moving something to a place it doesn’t belong at all.

I think there's a better solution. Splitting lexical cast into its own module might make conversion a much lighter dependency. I'm wary of creating too many submodules, but I think that one might be justified.

+1 See my previous post about moving part of MPL into the Boost.Core (identity, bool_, integral_constant_, or_, and_). This will remove the dependency of implicit_cast from MPL -- Best regards, Antony Polukhin
