This is backwards; you want to do INNERMOST_TEMPLATE_PARMS before 
looking at the number of parms or pulling out the one at index 0.

I think you can use tree_base instead of tree_common here, since you 
aren't using TREE_TYPE or TREE_CHAIN.

I'm trying to track this down but pointers would be helpful.  If I write the function body outside the class definition friend works perfectly.

> About friends.  The lookup for user-defined literal operators isn't ADL.  They are a lot like normal functions because of the suffix-id as opposed to operator<< in this regard.  Thus a friend literal operator should be accessible both as an explicit operator call and via a literal.  Both are tested and except as noted above about inline defs the tests pass.

A function that is only declared in a friend declaration can only be 
found by ADL, so that doesn't sound like a failure to me; it sounds like 
it's working the way it should.  However, if you declare the function 
earlier and then define it in the friend declaration it ought to work.
