 The reason is that solving systems of equations generally requires expressions to be evaluated an unknown number of times.
 This includes the special handling of \lstinline!when initial()! during initialization.

+It is still possible to call an impure function in a system of equations in specific ways.
+Specifically for the deprecated case of external functions assumed to be impure, and when using \lstinline!pure(expression)! to call an impure function in a pure function.
+The side-effect semantics are undefined in this case.
+Specifically the number of calls with external side-effects is unspecified.
+However, for impure functions where the outputs only depend on the inputs the system of equations should be solved correctly.

 By \cref{function-compatibility-or-function-subtyping-for-functions}, it follows that an impure function can only be passed as argument to a function formal parameter of impure type.
 A function having a formal function parameter that is \lstinline!impure! must be marked \lstinline!pure! or \lstinline!impure!.
