          Issue ID: 15666
           Summary: Grammar does not allow member function attributes on
                    static constructors
           Product: D

StaticConstructor:
    static this ( ) ;
    static this ( ) FunctionBody

StaticDestructor:
    static ~ this ( ) MemberFunctionAttributesopt ;
    static ~ this ( ) MemberFunctionAttributesopt FunctionBody

SharedStaticConstructor:
    shared static this ( ) ;
    shared static this ( ) FunctionBody

SharedStaticDestructor:
    shared static ~ this ( ) MemberFunctionAttributesopt ;
    shared static ~ this ( ) MemberFunctionAttributesopt FunctionBody

According to the grammar static and shared static destructors can have
attributes, but constructors cannot.

The compiler, as well as the contributors to std.socket, seem to be unaware of
this fact:
