I haven't though about it a lot, but I think I'd prefer to have stable 
library ABIs by default. So at least all export-ed, non-templated 
functions should not have inference.

Otherwise we'd have to add a best-practice 'fully annotate all exported 
function to avoid ABI breakage' rule, which then again is some sort of 
programming by convention...
