consider that GDC and LDC already both have that attribute courtesy of their backends (@attribute("noreturn") and @llvmAttr("noreturn") respectively).
One could argue that since "noreturn" changes the interface of a function, it should also change its signature (i.e. name mangling). I don't believe this is currently the case with any C++ compiler, or with LDC/GDC.
And frankly I'm sure it's annoying to users to use that attribute portably between GDC/LDC. The concept of noreturn should be part of the language, not a compiler implementation.
