It seems that the property of a class X which makes it a friend class of
some other class Y is *not* inherited by classes derived from X (in g++
1.36.1- at least).

Is this a bug or a feature?  I seem to recall somebody in comp.lang.c++
saying that this was a language feature, but if that is the case, it sure
is uncalled for.
