The "data" variable is not a variable at all. That is because the
declaration of "data" can be interpreted as a function declaration. The
compiler is required to prefer that. Thus "data" is a function. And
functions don't have "begin()" and "end()".

It can be solved by having extra variables:

void foo(std::istream& file)
{
using namespace std;
istream_iterator<string> first(file), last;
vector<string> data(first, last);

data.begin(); //works
}
