Why not just put
@safe @nogc pure:
at the top? I feel like @default would really only help if you
want to write
int foo(int i) @default { ... }
All things equal, I would probably prefer it as an alias
alias @default = @safe @nogc pure;
The biggest downside with this approach is that there's not
enough attributes. For instance, you can't write
int bar(int i) @system @gc { ... }
While @system already exists, @gc doesn't. I believe this has
also been discussed before on NG.
As an aside, the reason for not having function attribute
inference everywhere is that it doesn't work when function bodies
are not available. How common is this? I feel like I never write
functions like this. Why not just make the rule that if the
function body is available, then inference will happen?
