        <pre>clang fails to deduce that the friend declaration refers to ::func<int> in the
below

```
template <typename T>
void func(T);

class Cls {
    friend void ::func(int);
};
```

Rejecting with:

```
error: out-of-line declaration of 'func' does not match any declaration in the
global namespace
    friend void ::func(int);
                  ^~~~
```

I believe this should be allowed by [temp.friend]/1.3:
