In general, IMHO, mass applying attributes is a bad idea, because it makes it harder to know which attributes apply where, which is a maintenance problem. However, even worse than that, while there it _is_ possible to apply @safe to the module as a whole and then selectively apply @trusted and @system explicitly, there is no way to turn off all of the @safety attributes so that attribute inference can be used. And other attributes can't be undone at all. So, if you have templates in a module, mass applying attributes is a disaster. - Jonathan M Davis
