[Adopted at the February, 2016 meeting.]
The current wording does not appear to ban a pure-specifier from a friend declaration.
Proposed resolution (February, 2016):
Change 11.4 [class.mem] paragraph 6 as follows:
...A pure-specifier shall be used only in the declaration of a virtual function (11.7.3 [class.virtual]) that is not a friend declaration.
