Simply because it makes a difference in this context!

That the Fortran standard does not acknowledge this fact is more than 
surprising to me, given that Fortran actually has a way to mark functions as 
pure/impure. Not all languages have that.

What's the use of a PURE keyword, if not to indicate to the compiler that 
certain optimizations can safely be done?
