In any case. If you want to create a c++17 version of your libraries (in particular LexicalCast) I'll support you however I can. Wonder what the chances are for such a modernized library to be accepted into boost.

Boost has C++14+ libraries (like Hana), that require C++14 or higher. Boost has C++11+ libraries (like MP11, Fiber, CallableTraits), that require C++11 or higher.

Any new library proposed for Boost can be C++17+ (i.e. require C++17 or higher).

Sure, I'm aware of all that, but there are very few instances of a library v2. If it doesn't bring significantly new functionality on the table (just modernized internals and some additions) - would it really be accepted? To be clear: I was wondering, not assuming it wouldn't.
