ADL tricks do not really make something a member, it gives it preference
in the lookup but it does NOT make the function a friend or a member
function of the derived class. I think that Doxygen is currently right
to not make it such, or to incorrectly falsely list friends as
'inherited'. Perhaps in this sort of case, the function should be marked
with something like the @memberof tag to pull this friend in closer to
the class. This seems a better solution to me. (Don't know if that works
in Doxygen, but if not, fixing that seems less likely than having
Doxygen 'lie' without user action.

Dear Richard,
It actually corresponds to the so-called Barton–Nackman trick which is
conform the C++ standard.
It is characterized by an in-class friend function definition
appearing in the base class template
component of the curiously recurring template pattern (CRTP).
This implies that the friend specifier is essential.

Dear all,
In some previous versions of Doxygen (e.g. 1.6.1) , the friend
operators of the base class
in the attached example were displayed as "Friends" under the
listing of the derived class
but this is no longer so in the latest version of Doxygen (1.8.13).
For information, the parameter INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB = YES.
Would it be possible to recover this information?
Thanks in advance,
Maarten
One thing to note, friends are NOT inherited in C++, so the friend of
a base class has no special rights to my private/protected members,
just those of my base class that gave it friendship.
The out of class operators (which are sometimes given friend access)
are NOT member functions.
Doxygen listing them as 'Inherited Members' would have been a bug.
