The problem with inferring attributes on non-template functions is the

In my experience with D, the source code for most the functions are
available. Everyone is doing open source and no one bother with
writing/generating .di files. Not implementing attribute inference for
non-template functions just because the source code of _some_ functions
might not be present is not a good reason. Why should the non-template
functions that _have_ the source code available suffer?
Because large projects. -- Andrei
