Hi,
given in particular Richard Smith' analysis here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29871138/constexpr-is-not-allowed-in-declaration-of-friend-template-specialization/29957648#29957648
I think it's pretty straightforward that we don't have a good reason to
reject constexpr friend declarations. In practice the most recent
compilers I have at hand all agree.
Tested x86_64-linux.
Thanks,
Paolo.
