I tried to make getHash() const pure nothrow @safe, but found that in

I was deep into marking a *lot* of druntime functions (as perhaps they
*should* be), and then I ran into this:

Yeah, I know, it's viral. Can't do it piecemeal.
A related question though: have we implemented automatic propagation of
attributes like pure/nothrow/etc., yet? Just wondering if I can just
modify the base class and have the attributes propagate, or I have to
search for every override of every affected function in order to mark
them (as I have been doing -- just wanted to make sure it isn't for
nothing).
For 2.059, yes.
