Bye,

Nice.
BTW you're incorrectly attributing some things to me. Although I
recently championed the 'weakly pure' idea, I think Bruno made the
original proposal.
Well, kinda... I started the thread which described the original
proposal in detail, and described how it was actually sound and
potentially useful:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/Idea_partially_pure_functions_70762.html
But the idea itself didn't originate from me, it was derived from
something you said, (or at least inspired by something you said):
"I want to conceptualize an idea that has been briefly mentioned in the
previous pure discussions (by Don I think?), but has not been explicitly
brought into attention."
