[Bug c++/15453] Friend declaration treated as a declaration in scope.

["giovannibajo at libero dot it" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

No, the problem is the opposite. The standard says that a friend declaration 
does not introduce the name into the scope in which it is declared 
([basic.scope]/3). So, if we have a bug here, is that we accept the non-
template case:

---------------------------
class A
{
  friend class O;
  O* o;
};
---------------------------

This should be rejected but it is accepted by GCC. I keep this as the bug 
tracked in this report.

BTW, latest EDG agrees with my interpretation, so either Andrew is using an old 
ICC, or he hasn't activated strict ansi mode.
