Why is [1] allowed, but not [2]?
Citing grammar:
FunctionBody:
BlockStatement
BodyStatement
InStatement BodyStatement
OutStatement BodyStatement
InStatement OutStatement BodyStatement
OutStatement InStatement BodyStatement
BlockStatement:

{ StatementList }
As you can see there is no room for attributes. Why dmd does not
support attributes here is separate question - probably because
such construct would be confused with lambda, but this is not a
serious reason.
