You are right, UDAs must definitely leverage D's module system for

Then why allow it in the first place?
Because string literals are just a special case of literals?
i.e. if this works:
struct MyString {
string s;
alias s this;
}
@MyString("Foo") int n;
then why should this not work:
@"Foo" int n;
I agree it's useless, but it seems a very arbitrary restriction, too.
