Synopsis: Friend definitions in template classes

State-Changed-Why:
    As I read paragraph 14.6.5.1 in the standard, this is the expected behavior:
    
    > Friend classes or functions can be declared within a class template. When
    > a template is instantiated, the names of its friends are treated as if
    > the specialization had been explicitly declared at its point of instantiation.
    
    For short: No instatiation, no declaration.
    
    Convinced, Wolfgang?
