@mustUse is a user-defined attribute, and the official style

It is kinda confusing to call it a user-defined attribute if
it is recognized by the compiler.
Compiler-recognized UDAs are an established feature of D. See
[`core.attribute`][1] for more examples.
I dislike the camel case as well, and the name is less clear
than "nodiscard" in my opinion.
I suppose you'll have to take that up with Walter, since he's
the one who vetoed "nodiscard".
To be honest, though, I can see where he's coming from. When
writing DIP 1038, I made a conscious effort to avoid using the
term "non-`@nodiscard`", due to the double negative. With a
positively-phrased name like `@mustUse`, that problem
disappears.
