Can someone enlighten me about the origin of the term "referential
transparency"? I can lookup the definition of "referential transparency"
in the functional programming sense in the Haskell Wiki and I can lookup
the meaning of "reference" and "transparency" in a dictionary, but I don't
know why these words were chosen as name for this defined property.
