It turns out it's quite hard to have @safe pure nothrow functions. Oh, and const.

Yes, it's common.

It's a moderately small problem, and it's being worked on since 
lot of time.

Originally D didn't have those attributes, so Phobos was not 
designed for them. So adding them to Phobos (and D) is a work in 
progress, and there are also some blocking problems (Like: 
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/stlslhjndgugecvmbowd@forum.dlang.org 
). In some cases some functions can't just have all attributes, 
because they need to throw, or they are not designed to be pure, 
etc.
