Actually, there are also specializations with the exact number of
template arguments (3), and we are interested in granting access to
those... We can probably apply the patch (apparently doesn't hurt in
GCC) but the issue seems really a subtle one about friendship across
namespaces. To be safe, I would ask you to check Bugzilla (I think we
have already something about that) and in case, file a DR saying that
something like the below compiles with ICC and doesn't with GCC:

Thanks,
Paolo.
