That won't work for class types (only fundamental types can be
passed through the ellipsis).

Would getting rid of the const reference work or does it have
the same problem? __rw_iter_failed (_OutputIter).

Or how about defining two ordinary overloads and the template
as a workaround:

     __rw_iter_failed (const _OutputIter&);
     __rw_iter_failed (const std::ostreambuf_iterator<char>&);
     __rw_iter_failed (const std::ostreambuf_iterator<wchar_t>&);
