Why? I think that would be a mistake. Roll in any way you wish (after fixing
bugs and all), but do roll it it. There's absolutely never a good reason to
call a pure function and ignore its result, unless you just want to keep the
CPU warm.
Because with pure & nothrow inference, it breaks a lot of code, for example code
like this:
void foo(int i)
{
assert(i == 3);
}
