In my experience with D, the source code for most the functions are 
available. Everyone is doing open source and no one bother with 
writing/generating .di files. Not implementing attribute inference for 
non-template functions just because the source code of _some_ functions 
might not be present is not a good reason. Why should the non-template 
functions that _have_ the source code available suffer?
