The problem with inferring attributes on non-template functions is the source must be available to the compiler. That's obviously true for templates, but not so true for non-templates, where only the signature is available.
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?
