fixed: error C2784 from compiling adding an entry to a std::map

Got the above error, when compiling something that looked like this:

std::map<std::string, myType> myMap;
myMap[“Test”] = myType();

Looked around on the net, didn’t find the answer, thought about it for a bit and then realised I was missing #include <string> which fixed the problem. The error was a bit cryptic. Look for yourself at this dump from the compiler output:
