User(s) can reproduce this bug

private template operators are compiled as public. I'm including a very trivial example in "steps to reproduce."

Thanks, Jesse

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2010 SP1

Compatibility

#include <iostream>

class Test
{
private:
    template<typename T>
    static void operator << (T t)
    {
        std::cout << t;
    }
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    Test t;
    t << "But this is private!";
    return 0;
}

The code compiles without error

Should result in compiler error related to inaccessibility of operator.
