This makes a lot of sense and is more flexible.. and is more close to what other languages do .
Not sure about the term "pure" though. I know what its mean and its short but It seems overloaded you already got pure functions and pure virtual functions . Ben This also leaves us with "init-only" as a sensible thing to say about a field. I wonder if it isn't time to settle for "pure" and "init-only" (and possibly "deep pure") for the current version of the language, and deal with more complex cases later as justification emerges. This will tend to push a few cases in the direction of references, but perhaps not enough that we should care. shap
