http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10329 And I think that there are older bug reports which are similar. Regardless, attribute inference is pretty poor right now. A _lot_ of Phobos doesn't have its attributes being properly inferred precisely because the compiler stops at the first level of templated stuff rather than fully inferring a template, which quickly makes attribute inference nearly useless. It should definitely be fixed at the compiler level though. Anything else would just be patching holes in a sinking ship. - Jonathan M Davis
