Attribute inference for non-templated functions

Hey while I was writing the contribution guide I stumbled over
the issue that dmd will automatically infer attributes like @safe
or pure in templated functions, but not in non-templated ones.
Consider this example:
```
size_t inc(size_t a)
{
return a + 1;
}
pure unittest
{
assert(1.inc == 2);
}
```
It will not compile and yield and and error like "pure function
'foo.__unittestL7_1' cannot call impure function 'foo.inc'".
Whereas the following compiles:
```
size_t incT(T = size_t)(size_t a)
{
return a + 1;
}
pure unittest
{
assert(1.incT == 2);
}
```
My question is whether this is just an open issue (I couldn't
find it) or a design decision?
