Hi again,

Incidentally, it is of course possible for a function to invoke impure
functions while still being pure itself (ie, it ensures the impurity
does not "leak out").  One question to those more familiar with current
language research: any recommended resources out there about this topic?

Cheers,
Dario Teixeira
