|> I suggested once that the keyword "friends" should indicate that

class X {
#ifdef X_FRIENDS
   X_FRIENDS;
#endif
public:
..
};

The above hack should let you develop a tightly-coupled hierarchy with
minimal fuss until closure can be applied and the final friend declaration
inserted in its place.

In my opinion a tightly-coupled framework must be finite a-priori.  I can't
reconcile this requirement with that of inherited friendship.
