I think when compilers will be less buggy as for this trick, the standard will
describe template friends. Otherwise, why all compilers noted in article has the
same bug?

Anyway, I provided the other solution based on macros. It is not so pretty, but
standard. I also remember that Mayers has some solution with pure virtual

Thank you for you interest and time taken to read discussion.
