2. The function attributes: @nogc nothrow. These relate to my

I use writefln a lot to debug my implementations, which is
incompatible with either assumption. I wish it were possible
to bypass @nogc nothrow in debug mode, only to emit a warning.
To change dozens of functions to set @nogc on/off depending on
usage context is not practical. I hope D can provide a better
solution, than systematic use of sed scripts. :)
Hmm, this sounds like it might be a bug or design flaw.
"debug" is supposed to provide an escape hatch from even pure
functions: I don't see why it wouldn't provide the same for
@nogc and nothrow. At the very least, we should have a
@nogc/nothrow alternative to writefln to allow such simple
debugging.
