join couldn't be found an appropriate overload when fmt is imported as a module. #4190

Description

@LeenHawk

The compiler is failing to find an appropriate overload for the fmt::join function that works with std::vector<int> or other
std::vector<xxx>.

Environment:

  1. MSVC 17.0
  2. CMake 3.30.2
  3. ninja 1.11.1

Error message:
