Template friends

[Al Niessner]

In the previous post I mistakenly referenced my declaration as looking
like h<>() in 14.5.3.2 when I should have said preempt<>() in 14.5.3.1's
example. I can also change the friend the statement to be 'friend int
foobar<T>(A<T> &);' and it fails with the same error.
