Well I see the point that it could be surprising for linkage.
I also understand that a function pointer to a function that is later  
deduced to be pure nothrow gets a type of
pure nothrow. Tough to decide though.
I think as long as we stick with the current behavior we must prevent  
TypeFunction from messing up the Type merging cache.
