It should be noted this thread of a library of pure text is meaningless.

He is now reffering to assign static addresses (well-known address).

If we can have statically assigned addresses it is easy to have global

So, pureness is not neccessary.

Of course, it is wrong to simply assume we can assign static addresses.
