Honestly, based on experience of maintaining larger D codebases, 
I'm not sure it isn't anyway best practice to apply attributes 
(including protection attributes) only ever to individual symbols 
and functions.

It can look a bit verbose, and obviously it can be annoying in 
the way you describe, but it really helps avoid any doubt what 
attributes apply in any given case.
