Maybe D programmers need to adopt a new convention for 
annotations in the long term. Instead of:

void doSomething(int n) pure @safe @nogc nothrow
{
}

We should write:

pure @safe @nogc nothrow
void doSomething(int n)
{
}

The only problem being that this conflicts with the convention 
for UDAs...
