I don't see it as "mass-applying attributes" rather than changing 
the default to something more sane, so that I have to apply 
*less* attributes to any single function.

If the addition of new keywords (like "throws", "@gc" and 
"impure") is a problem, why not doing it like @nogc(false) or 
@nogc=false (likewise for nothrow and pure)?
