This is core issue 138 "Friend declaration name lookup". As such, and given the repeated discussions around it, this does not seem to be editorial at all. |

The word first is confusing and unnecessary in [namespace.memdef]/3. It gives the impression that if the name in the
frienddeclaration is not the first in its TU, the friend will not need to be a member of the innermost enclosing namespace, which is clearly incorrect as the snippet below shows:void f(); namespace A { struct S { friend void f(); }; }The name
fis not first declared in thefrienddeclaration. Nevertheless, the snippet will compile if the functionfis declared in namespaceA, either before or after the friend declaration.
