I try, but Phobos needs to be thoroughly "purified" before it's really going to 
work. And at the moment, unless you go out of your way and declare multiple 
versions of template functions which are pure or impure based on their template 
arguments, many functions which _should_ be pure _can't_ be. So, much as I try 
to use purity, even with the new weak purity rules, it's still pretty hard to 
use it much. The situtation should improve, but it wouldn't surprise me if a 
lot 
of people pretty much ignored pure at the moment due to problems using it.
