So somehow I missed that for template functions the attributes can be

regular functions?

It can be done, Walter wanted to do it, but there was large resistance,
mainly because library APIs would become unstable, possibly changing
between every release.
I wanted to do it for "auto" returning functions, since they require a
function body.
IMHO it would be safe to use inference for private functions...
Not a bad idea. Please file as an enhancement request.
The more attribute inference we can do, the better.
