Hi Marģers, Thanks for the feedback!
Assigning the results of pure functions to constants has not yet been developed. I had planned to add it once the bulk of pure functions (i.e. the current merge request) had been approved since it requires some additional work (specifically what happens if the function is not actually pure or otherwise can't return a straightforward result).
2 and 3 are definite bugs though. The second case should at the very least make the function impure, while the third case should indeed not disqualify the function. I'll see what I can do. Thanks again.
