Just to be clear on my position here.
When someone says "feature X should not be used"
(in this case X = functions with side effects), the
burden is to prove the *universal* quantifier over
all, or at least most all, uses.
It is NOT an argument to show one case in which X
should not be used.
On the other hand, the burden of proof in the other
direction is much easier, because there it IS
sufficient to show specific examples.
(I already gave some, memo functions, instrumented
functions, functions that do allocations ... there
are many other examples).
