Whereas I would argue that since you're declaring a C function, it should be a
_C_ function and therefore not include features which C doesn't have. The only
reason that I think that permitting pure and nothrow on C functions makes any
sense is out of pure necessity.

I would expect this to simply be

extern(C) int pipe(int* fds);

because what C does is pass a pointer, not a fixed-size array.
