Just two more remarks:
* The relevant part of the standard is 14.8.2 [temp.deduct],
especially 14.8.2.1 [temp.deduct.call].
* The reason why 3.3.5 doesn't error out might be that it confuses
friend P operator* <>(P const&, P const&); (template)
with
friend P operator* (P const&, P const&); (non-template)
The latter should (and does) indeed compile with 3.3.5 and 3.4.2.
