Why should this be an attribute rather than a pragma?

I agree. There's no reason I can think of as to why the no-return should be part 
of the ABI.

Separate compilation. I.e. if one changes the implementation of a function such 
that it now returns, it will break any compiled code that relied on it being 
noreturn.

This is why, for example, nothrow is part of the signature.
