I probably need to reread the docs, but as I remember it was stressed
that the presence of imperative features, eps. mutable values, doesn't
allow for much indeterminism in the evaluation order. Because it legally
matters what was the order of evaluation of a-b-c-d-e if some of them
change global values, which are used in the others.
