The comments on that page also include a rather nice way of implementing
friend classes yourself, though you may also want to overload __call().

Although a little more fiddly, the above method is arguably better than
C++'s. This is because with a little extra work you could define an
"acquaintance" class which is, say, the same as a friend class, but has
read-only access to object properties instead of read-write.
