Super contrived, but I hope you get my drift:

int *awesome() pure {
static if (ohSoAwesome) {
return new int;
} else {
return null;

}

Where does ohSoAwesome come from?
A random bool.
Perhaps something like this:
```
version(LDC)
ohSoAwesome = true;
else
ohSoAwesome = false
```
Well randomness is not available in pure functions. Anyhow I've
reformulated the wording and added an example. The sheer fact it works
is pretty awesome.

For now I didn't want to give thrown values any special treatment, i.e.
maximum freedom for the implementation.
