The argument goes that purity is concerned with what happens in a single run

I'm just wondering, why haven't process properties (such as the command
line arguments, or the parent process id), which are inherently global,
been made global values in the Haskell standard? You could avoid
needlessly carrying around these values, you wouldn't need to lift some
functions into
