This seems like a simple comment fix, but there's a longer explanation
of what I want (see below). Would this be more appropriate?

   // Do not allow constrained friend template specializations.

The intent is stronger than to say it must match something.

By "must" I meant that whatever it matches could only be a fully-instantiated function.

But I guess the main reason for disallowing constraints here is the same as for explicit specializations and non-template functions; non-dependent constraints don't really make any sense.
