Apparently even templates don't help here much:
---
import std.typecons:Nullable;
Nullable!V convert(T,V)(Nullable!T v, scope V delegate(T) c)
{
        if(v.isNull)return Nullable!V();
        return Nullable!V(c(v.get()));
}

void f() pure
{
        Nullable!long v;
        Nullable!int v1=v.convert!(long,int)((a){ return cast(int)a; });
}
---
Error: pure function 'f' cannot call impure function 'convert!(long,
int).convert'

--- Comment #2 from Bastiaan Veelo <Bastiaan@Veelo.net> ---
This came up again at the DLF quarterly meeting April 5, 2024, with industry partners, and Walter asked to make sure there is a feature request. As discussed there:

For arguments and return types of various mutability we have the `inout` keyword that saves us from having to define multiple function overloads[1]. A similar solution for other attributes does not exist.

For example, if you have foreach loops over a struct S both in a @nogc context
and with an allocating loop body,
```d
void f()
{
    S s;
    foreach (a; s)
        allocating(a);
}

void g() @nogc
{
    S s;
    foreach (a; s)
        nonallocating(a);
}

void allocating(int) {}

void nonallocating(int) @nogc {}
```

then S needs both of these opApply overloads:

```d
    int opApply(scope int delegate(int) dg);
    int opApply(scope int delegate(int) @nogc dg) @nogc;
```

Similar for @safe, nothrow, pure and their permutations.

Templating opApply[2] can help in many of these cases, but problems arise when classes and inheritance get involved[3].

There is a DIP for argument dependent attributes[4] but work on it has stalled.

This can be done using templates:
```d
int f(DG)(scope DG callback)
{
    return callback("Hello, World");
}

void main() @safe
{
    import std.stdio;
    f((string str) { writeln(str); return 0; });
}
```

For opApply, for some reason, this works:
```d
struct S
{
    private int opApplyImpl(DG)(scope DG dg)
    {
        static if (is(DG : int delegate(string)))
                return dg("Hello, World!");
                else
            return dg(0, "Hello, World!");
    }
    alias opApply = opApplyImpl!(int delegate(string));
    alias opApply = opApplyImpl!(int delegate(size_t, string));
}

void main() @safe
{
    import std.stdio;
    foreach (s; S())
    {
        static assert(is(typeof(s) == string));
        writeln(s);
    }
    foreach (i, s; S())
    {
        static assert(is(typeof(i) == size_t));
        static assert(is(typeof(s) == string));
        writeln(i, " ", s);
    }
}
```
