yeah that's what i thought, but maybe scala implicit param not being perfect will help finding a better linguistic trait (maybe they should enforce purity on these parameters)

IMO it is perfect, or at least better than anything else that's been found so far.

"Purity" means different things in different contexts. Ultimately you can give programmers more tools, but you can't get away from relying on their good judgement.
