I'd rather not: the benefit is too subtle, I'd expect most users won't know/bother to use `eval-when-compile` around it even though I'd expect a vast majority of the uses can benefit from compile-time evaluation. In contrast the cases where the impurity will get in the way should be rare. Feel free to add a `save-match-data` if you think it's worth the trouble (but please include a comment explaining it's only there in order to satisfy the `pure` annotation). Stefan
