BUGREPORT: nested friend methods of a nested class inside a template class

[Jason Kim]

A templated container class that contains a fully defined nested class
(i.e. iterator) which requires a friend operator causes gcc 3.2.2 to
complain that the defined friend method of the iterator is an abstract
virtual member (!).
