Hello.

i just tried to compile cbor.d (see announce NG) and found this issue:

# dmd z00.d cbor.d

(z00.d is just a copypasted sample from README.md)

z00.o: In function 'pure nothrow @nogc @safe void cbor.putChecked!(ubyte[], ubyte).putChecked(ref ubyte[], const(ubyte))':
cbor.d:(.text._D4cbor21__T10putCheckedTAhThZ10putCheckedFNaNbNiNfKAhxhZv+0xa): undefined reference to 'pure nothrow @nogc @safe void std.range.primitives.put!(ubyte[], const(ubyte)).put(ref ubyte[], const(ubyte))'
z00.o: In function `_D4cbor22__T10putCheckedTAhTAhZ10putCheckedFNaNbNiNfKAhxAhZv':
cbor.d:(.text._D4cbor22__T10putCheckedTAhTAhZ10putCheckedFNaNbNiNfKAhxAhZv+0xd): undefined reference to 'pure nothrow @nogc @safe void std.range.primitives.put!(ubyte[], const(ubyte)[]).put(ref ubyte[], const(ubyte)[])'
z00.o: In function `_D4cbor22__T10putCheckedTAhTAhZ10putCheckedFNaNbNiNfKAhKxAhZv':
cbor.d:(.text._D4cbor22__T10putCheckedTAhTAhZ10putCheckedFNaNbNiNfKAhKxAhZv+0xf): undefined reference to 'pure nothrow @nogc @safe void std.range.primitives.put!(ubyte[], const(ubyte)[]).put(ref ubyte[], const(ubyte)[])'

sorry for the linenoise, but i think it is decipherable. i demangled names for clarity.

seems that dmd somehow decides that `cbor.putChecked` is pure, and couldn't find pure `put` for ranges (which is obvious; what use of pure `put` can be? ;-).

but if i do this:

# dmd -c cbor.d
# dmd z00.d cbor.o

everything is fine and i got working `z00` binary.

i tried to dustmite that, but got complete garbage (as dustmite loves to produce ;-). seems that this is a bug in attributes inference, but i unable to minify it to something sane. maybe somebody brave enough can write a sane sample which triggers this bug?
