I think before lambdas were widely used they made lots of sense.  I used to 
like these because they were easier (for me) to debug than lambda functions, 
where all heck could break loose on the inside.  But it is true that they are 
not used much anymore.  I’d vote for depreciating them.

The pure/unpure stuff has definitely needed reorganising for almost 9 years now 
- there must be a better way to do it.
