+/**
+ * Indicates that a function or method is a "pure" function.
+ *
+ * ## Target audience
+ *
+ * Implementors
+ * - Static analysis tooling
+ * - Code compilation and optimization tooling (such as for compiled containers
+ *  or event dispatchers, etc.)
+ * Users
+ * - Users who want their static analysis tools to double-check their use of
+ *   pure functions.
+ *
+ * ## Purpose
+ *
+ * A pure function is a function or method that has the following properties,
+ * per [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_function):
+ *
+ * 1. The function return values are identical for identical arguments
+ *    (no variation with local static variables, non-local variables, mutable
+ *    reference arguments or input streams, i.e., referential transparency).
+ * 2. The function has no side effects (no mutation of non-local variables,
+ *    mutable reference arguments or input/output streams).
+ *
+ * In PHP, that means a pure function:
+ *
+ * 1. MUST NOT use or modify any global variable.
+ * 2. MIST NOT perform any IO operations, even read-only ones.
+ * 3. MUST NOT modify any property of an object provided to it as an
+ *    argument, even transitively.
+ * 4. MUST NOT read from an object property on the same object unless
+ *    that property is `readonly`.
+ * 5. MUST NOT accept a parameter by reference.
+ * 6. MUST NOT call any function that is not also marked "pure." (It
+ *    may invoke a callable passed to it as an explicit argument.)
+ *
+ * ## When should the attribute be applied
+ *
+ * When a user marks a function or method as pure, it means they are asserting
+ * that the function conforms to the rules above.
+ *
+ *  If this attribute is placed on a method in an interface, it means that all
+ *  implementations of that method MUST themselves be marked pure.
+ *
+ * Static analysis tools
+ * - SHOULD verify that the function indeed meets the rules above,
+ *   and treat it as an error if not.
+ * - MUST treat PHP standard library functions that conform to these
+ *   rules as pure. As an example, `strtolower()` is pure.  `sort()`
+ *   is not.
+ * - MUST flag as an error any function that is marked pure but is
+ *   demonstrably not.
+ * - MUST treat any method implementing an interface method marked
+ *   pure as pure.
+ *
+ * Optimization tools and pre-compilation tools:
+ * - MAY implement optimizations based on the knowledge that a function
+ *   is pure. For example, they may safely cache its results indefinitely,
+ *   or inline its code into another routine.
