Good afternoon Karen,
I understand your apprehension, however recommendations for duplication
of code make me apprehensive. Someone now has to recognize that two
functions have exactly the same coding and require a fix to be implemented
twice.
Your recommendation is exactly the same as I have proposed - but without requiring
the user to do it manually!
Side effects can also occur if one uses local state computed from a previous
call. Are you then going to check for all local variables initialized (written)
before being read to ensure no side effects?
<p> Adam
