Required prerequisites

• Make sure you've read the documentation. Your issue may be addressed there.
• Search the issue tracker and Discussions to verify that this hasn't already been reported. +1 or comment there if it has.
• Consider asking first in the Gitter chat room or in a Discussion.

What version (or hash if on master) of pybind11 are you using?

3.0.1

Problem description

void test(const py::kwargs& kwargs)
{
	auto s = py::str(kwargs);
}

fails to compile with gcc with the following (condensed) error:

error: call of overloaded ‘str(const pybind11::kwargs&)’ is ambiguous
  200 |         auto s = py::str(kwargs);
      |                                ^

 1594 | class str : public object {
      |       ^~~

This fails with at least g++-12 and g++-13 while it works with at least clang-17 and clang-18.

Any suggestion for a specific cast to work around the issue?

Reproducible example code

#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
namespace py = pybind11;

void test(const py::kwargs& kwargs)
{
	auto s = py::str(kwargs);
}

Is this a regression? Put the last known working version here if it is.
