Yes, yes and yes. I think many of the performance issues of Phobos are
rooted there.
I'm of the opinion that the user must not suffer because of a undecided
situation with inlining in the toolchain (all of them).
Speaking of which, I think the following special case should be allowed:
-----
void foo()() { }
void main()
{
auto x = &foo; // NG
}

Then maybe we won't even break anyone's code.
Providing either this special case for empty argument templates seems to
be a small price to help this ugly situation.
That is unless compiler devs agree with the following observation and
see a way to get there in short-term:

Which is something nobody clarified yet.
Well Johannes spoke for GDC by noting that there is no notion to support
that in the current frontend-backend dialog.
