You're right.

Ah, as I understand it.  They're namespace-scope friend functions in
the namespace of X, but that fact doesn't mean much because of course
you can't access them with X::....

You're right.  It works because the base classes of T are
"associated" in:

     struct myclass : X<myclass> {};
