The STL was mostly standardised in C++98, 1998. There were additions in C++03 and C++11, but nothing like removing this type of overload.

Long running systems were still using pre-standardisation libraries for string up to 2012 however, so you may well have come across such projects.

Bzzt. C++ 11 completely overhauls how std::string is defined.
