   I searched RogueWave documentation for that symbol. Here is what I found 
(excerpt of Tools++ 7.1.1 toolread.doc):
----------------------------------------------------------
                   ***************************
                ****   DEC C++ on OSF users   ****
                   ***************************

Tools.h++ is certified for:
  Digital UNIX V4.0F for DEC C++ V6.1, with POSIX threads 
    NOTE: Either DEC or RW Standard Library can be used

1. If you compile Tools.h++ with the DEC Standard Library, Tools.h++ 
will use the old-style iostreams rather than the new iostreams
specified by the published C++ Standard.  The reason for this is that
DEC cxx uses the old iostreams by default and requires the user to
put -D__USE_STD_IOSTREAM in the  cxx command line in order to get
the new iostreams.
----------------------------------------------------------

So it seems to be a platform specific "feature" ;-)

Hope this help,
Baptiste.
