There is. You take a pointer to the pure code, can forcibly cast it to an impure 
pointer. However, that only works in @system code. There's a `pureMalloc` 
somewhere in the library that does this.

The same technique can be used to remove @nogc.

But when one subverts the type system like that, one must own the consequences.

BTW, `pure` is not enforced within `debug` blocks. This is handy so they can be 
instrumented with things like `printf`.
