Returning to the original point, I've come to the conclusion that
"pure"

doesn't point to what it is that's not leaking, which is information
rather than memory, as many might imagine (and I did) without further
hints. I'm not sure any single English word would be as descriptive as
I'd like.
As the developer of veil I feel marginally qualified to bikeshed here:
how about "silent"? A silent function being one that will not blab.
I also made this suggestion later in the day.
There are also quite a few synonyms in the thesaurus for trustworthy. I
kind of like "honorable" or "righteous" myself.
Let's not go there.
