Minor or no it is documented `pure` functions can throw and the compiler
already consider `pure` but not `nothrow` functions as doing this (i.e. they
aren't optimized out). So `nothrow` must be treated the same way as `nothrow`
just means no recoverable `Exception`s are thrown. Breaking language changes
are welcome but in a separate enhancement issue. Currently `onOutOfMemoryError`
is no-op because of this and the issue should be fixed.
