I don't see a first option in your first paragraph. "it's likely
that the vast majority of code *won't*", sure, but scope
inference needs to be 100%, 'likely `scope`' is not useful
information for DMD.

`pure` `nothrow` functions don't break, it's only `pure`
functions that throw exceptions that lose their free `scope`
inference. Disallowing `pure` `throw` functions entirely results
in a strict superset of the breakage, on top of adding an
arbitrary restriction to users.
