On the one hand, I agree that the nested class is friend-*like*, in
that all of the enclosing types names are injected into its namespace.
(I think there are some differences ... but let's skip that for now.)

On the other hand, I am confounded at my inability to find any
evidence for my belief that enclosing classes are supposed to be
auto-friends of nested classes.  I guess I was wrong about that.

On the gripping hand, there is still a bug in G++!  If you make the
nested class a struct, the current G++ snapshot still fails.
