This I think would fix our 'friend function' issue, and our 'comparing constraints' stuff work correctly as well (rather than storing an instantiated version, but not reusing it except for comparing them).

The problems I have with it I think get solved by the 'friend function' rules that I pasted above, so I THINK I can fix those and be ok.  I'll still need SOME level of tree-transform, but only to see if it depends on the enclosing template.

Great!

>> I agree this one should be fine. I think we could fix the problem by making non-template function inside a template class to be a dependent type. Like this one is accepted: >https://godbolt.org/z/MorzcqE1a

I don't have a good idea how to make this work in the AST though, and might end up leaving it as a 'fixme'.  As you said, I think you're right that this is a very small bug-vector.

Yeah, my point is that this is not your fault. And we could fix the problem later when we have time since it is not hurry.
