I believe this refers to std::fpos<>::_Stz from <iosfwd>. This appears
to refer to a specialization on a const type, which in turn makes me
think of Borland's bug of not dropping the top level const qualification
in argument deduction.
What I do not know is what is triggering this and whether in this case
the usual workaround is applicable, which is to specify explicitly the
relevant function's template arguments.
