It's easy to declare the entire module @safe and functions

However there is const, immutable, pure, @nogc and nothrow but

Why is that ?
Mostly because nobody's bothered to add them (yet). There's an
accepted proposal to add a "throw" attribute as the opposite of
nothrow [1], but it looks like it still hasn't been implemented
in the compiler.
For const and immutable, you can use std.traits.Unconst [2] to
remove them in most cases.

Very interesting. Thanks.
