I think we need an other word than "pure" here. Usually, we understand
"pure" as "always producing the same result when given the same
parameters". Here, "always" really means "always", and does not depend
on the run-time context of the program. So obviously, a really pure
function can't use side-effect run-time constants.

IIUC, what you want is "run-time qualified" functions, or functions that
"In the scope of a run, always produce the same result when given the
same parameters". Is that right ?
