I thought about an alternative approach:
Instead of using a (yet another) annotation, how about
introducing a flag similar to -cov, which would output lines in
which the GC is used.
This information can be used by an IDE to highlight those lines.
Then you could quickly navigate through your performance-critical
loop and make sure it's clean of GC.
That sounds like a much less invasive approach no a @nogc attribute.
Problem is with functions that have no source available.

Mangle the @nogc it into the name?
That would work. Then anything that doesn't have @nogc counts as an
allocation, and the corresponding line will be labeled as such. (I
suspect that would cause a bunch of false positives in systems that
don't add @nogc systematically.)
