That would be really nice to have. I also had a similar idea in my mind
for a while, with lots of potential use cases that came up in the past.
The most prominent example would be something like vibe.d's `@blocking`,
which currently just acts as documentation, but would be really useful
if something like `@nonblocking` could actually be enforced at compile
time - currently there is just a runtime solution for that.
