I have an issue related to adding an extra attribute: Attributes 
of non-template functions. Currently, you have to mark most 
functions as already pure, nothrow and @safe. If we are adding 
another attribute. Code will start looking alike this:

int someTrivialFunction(int i) @safe pure nothrow @nogc;

*If* we introduce "yet" another attribute, then I think it should 
be worth considering adding the simple "@infered" or 
"@everything" wildcard or something.

Having a function whose attributes takes more room than the 
signature proper is pretty bad :/

Kind of not *directly* related to @nogc, but this DIP adds 
relevance to the "issue".

I mean, if we want this to actually be useful in Phobos (or 
other), it will require *massive* tagging all over the place.
