Ahh I see what you mean. Yeah, as you mentioned I think that cat is already out
of the bag with attributes like
`[[no_unique_address]]`/`[[clang::using_if_exists]]`/`[[clang::trivial_abi]]`/`[[clang::enable_if(...)]]`/...
so I'm not as worried about it. In fact I think even
`[[clang::diagnose_if(...)]]` can cause template instantiations that change
program behavior.
That said, we can avoid most of this problem quite easily (...in principle;
perhaps not simple in implementation) I think: by preventing the query built-in
from being usable anywhere outside of lifetime analysis.

Their meanings are, but their specifications seem very similar: in both cases,
they are trying to say, "when diagnosing {this characteristic} of this
function, do it assuming the function is equivalent to {this code}". That said
-- I do agree I'm not 100% on board with using `noexcept` for this purpose
either. My reason is slightly different though: the moment we have _another_
analysis to add to the picture (something other than lifetimebound), we might
run into a case where we want one part of the spec for one analysis, and
another for the other... and I can't think of a decent way to do that. At the
same time, I'm not sure how likely that scenario is?

If we could utilize the actual body, that would be perfect. However... would it
be feasible to make this work for `emplace_back`? Because `emplace_back`
returns `reference`, not `void`. And even the simplest of wrappers
```
template<class... Args>
reference emplace_back(Args&&... args) {
my_vector.push_back(T(std::forward<Args>()...));
return my_vector.back();
}
```
would seem to make it pretty difficult for the compiler to analyze what the
lifetime relationship to the return value is.
____
Here's another idea though, combining all of the suggestions above (including
@kinu's suggestion): if we forego trying to avoid code duplication, this seems
like it could work:
```
template<class... Args>
reference emplace_back(Args&&... args)
[[clang::lifetimebound_like(new T(std::forward<Args>(args)...))]];
```
Thoughts?
