[Bug c++/22070] New: including iostream causes lookup of std function to fail when passed into STL algorithm

[jbeardsley at ncaustin dot com]

The inclusion of iostream breaks the following program.  A workaround is to 
define an inline function that calls into tolower() and use it as the last 
argument to transform().

Code:

#include <cctype>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  std::string foo("AbCd");
  std::transform(foo.begin(), foo.end(), foo.begin(), std::tolower);
  return 0;
}

Output:
