     * by the Func at a distinct value of the RVar. For example, r.x

     *
     \code
 
     // This definition writes to even coordinates and reads from the
     // same site (which no other value of r.x is writing to) and odd
     // sites (which no other value of r.x is writing to):
     f(2*r.x) = max(f(2*r.x), f(2*r.x + 7));

     // same site and scanline one:

     // This definition reads and writes over non-overlapping ranges:
     f(r.x + 100) += f(r.x);
     \endcode
     *
     * To give two counterexamples, r.x is not pure in the following
     * definitions:
     *
     \code
     // The same site is written by distinct values of the RVar
     // (write-after-write hazard):
     f(r.x / 2) += f(r.x);
 
     // One value of r.x reads from a site that another value of r.x
