I think it'd be great if we used magical full names, but
otherwise it is the same as the library. Then they are namespaced
and can be shared.
module core.gdc;
struct noreturn {}
// and whatever
Then when you use it, you import core.gdc and use @noreturn. The
compiler doesn't define the attribute, but it recognizes the full
name of core.gdc.noreturn and gives it special treatment like an
intrinsic.
