or just open the debugger and it tells you exactly where it 
happened.

I'm slightly in favor of this dip, I've said before that as it 
is, the annotations are more hassle than they are worth, but 
think the swapped defaults would push it slightly over the edge. 
(I kinda feel the same about pure, nothrow, etc but it does get 
murkier there, especially since there's no equivalent to @system 
and @trusted there!)

But the aid in debugging I don't think would help that much, it 
would be more about just making it lower cost for small library 
functions to adopt them, which would hopefully fan up to to other 
levels too.
