Description

By default, repositories compiled using the meson build enable -Werror=non-template-friend and this causes the following errors:

../subprojects/wg21_p2300_std_execution/include/execution.hpp:969:66: error: friend declaration ‘void std::execution::__connect::tag_invoke(_Tag, std::execution::__connect::__completion<_Tag(_Args ...)>&&, _Args&& ...)’ declares a non-template function [-Werror=non-template-friend]
  969 |         friend void tag_invoke(_Tag, __completion&&, _Args&&...) noexcept;
      |                                                                  ^~~~~~~~

Research direction

Start with subprojects/wg21_p2300_std_execution/include/execution.hpp at lines 969-986 and reproduce the Meson build with GCC and -Werror=non-template-friend. Inspect the reported friend declarations and verify the project still builds successfully with this warning treated as an error.
