Bug or "hidden" feature?

If a function has an UDA you don't need to give the function a return type. Is that a bug or a hidden feature? Example: ``` import std.stdio; struct A { } @A test() { writeln("Called test()"); } @A test2() { return true; } void main() { test();

Possible change to symbol protection

I believe it would be nice if we were allowed to pass symbols we don't have access to into templates, but of course we shouldn't be allowed to use them. Ex. foo.d ``` module foo; private int bar; ``` baz.d ``` template MyTemplate(alias Symbol) { ... } ... import foo; MyTemplate!bar;
