Well it's not like I give up anything.
Most of D's (esp. optimization) potential isn't used yet anyways.
So as a very basic example declaring a function pure doesn't change much,  
at least with dmd (llvm has interesting IR attributes like readonly and  
nocapture that look suspiciously like pure and scope but I don't know if  
LDC uses them).
