As Amr Sabry aptly observed more than a decade ago discussions of
purity and referential transparency usually lead to confusion and
disagreement. His JFP paper provided the needed rigor and argued that
Haskell even _with regular file (stream) IO_ is pure. As was shown
yesterday, with Lazy IO, Hask

The most significant new feature is support for literate Haskell.

Hi,
It seems to me that basically, a run of Oleg's code is :: IO Int,
not Int, so there is little sense to talk about referential transparencies
by comparing the results of two runs.
It would have sense by making the comparison directly in a single run,
inside the code (using a pure compare funct
I don't see any breaking of referential transparence in your code.
Every time you do an IO operation the result is basically
non-deterministic since you are talking to the outside world.
You're assuming the IO has some kind of semantics that Haskell makes
no promises about.
I'm not saying that thi
