I'm not convinced that specifying the exact return type is such a
huge inconvenience to those who use separate compilation.
I don't view this as an inconsistency, but definitely a change to
why one might choose to use auto.
I'm pretty much for this change. However, I also think it would
be good to introduce attributes to specify a throwing function as
it would have uses in a file headed with
nothrow:
I'd suggest the same for pure, but 'nopure' isn't the greatest of
names. Anyway it is the same reason we have @system, I'd just
hope they don't get added as @throws and @nopure as that would be
inconsistent.
