Got it. Good point. Will do.


That worse than the current wording.

Yes, and I fixed it a few minutes after:

Is the situash good now? -- Andrei

Yeah, with the extra sentences it's clear to (at least) me. The "cannot be assumed" may be read as "can never be assumed"; but it's clarified at the end of the paragraph.

Perhaps I read this wrong but: the paragraph says that non-strongly-pure functions receive no special treatment, but then the next paragraph adds special treatment for a subset of non-strongly-pure functions... :)

It's all nitpicking of course, and now things may be obvious. But one year from now I'm sure we'll have trouble figuring out what was really meant... :S
