You can't have @pure attributes on function parameters, either.
Parameters don't work like regular declarations, never have,
and I don't know of a language where they do. They even have a
different grammar.
C# allows custom attributes on function parameters, including the
return value. Actually, it allows custom meta-data everywhere.
See a use case here

I believe Java does the same.
