what are the rules for @nogc inference?
It attempts it if and only if it is a template.
Well, the general "rule" is, if it's code that must be
available to the compiler when it's called, then it will be
inferred.
Examples of code that must be processed every time it's used:
1. Template functions
2. auto-returning functions
3. functions inside templates (like member functions of a
templated struct)
4. Inner functions
There may be others I didn't think of.
Everything else must be manually attributed. The reasoning is
that the function may be stubbed in a .di file, and in that
case, attribute inference wouldn't be possible.

Thanks for clarifications, Adam and Steven!
My problem is next code:
=================================================
import std.traits;
T library_func(T)(/*lazy*/ T i)
{
// this fuction can be @nogc or not depending on T properties
static if (isArray!T) {
return i ~ i;
}
else
{
return i;
}
}
void user_function_nogc() @nogc
{
int x = 1;
library_func(x+1);
}
void user_function_gc()
{
library_func([1]);
}
void main()
{
}
=====================================================
This code compiles as long as `lazy` is commented out. But I'd
like to have
both lazy parameter and @nogc inferrence for `library_func` so
that user is not locked to code @nogc or not.
