Because in the second case the string is an rvalue, whereas in the first
case it gets stored in a variable first, so it's an lvalue. The first
parameter of formattedRead is 'ref', meaning that it requires an lvalue.
(Arguably, it should be `auto ref` instead, then literals would work,
but that belongs in an enhancement request.)
