Description Michael Kay 2014-02-13 09:30:11 UTC 
In 1.6.4, the definition "[Definition] A function that is guaranteed to produce ·identical· results from repeated calls if 
the explicit and implicit arguments are identical is referred to as deterministic." should say "repeated calls within the same execution scope".

At present we carefully define the concept of execution scope and then fail to make use of it in the definition of determinism.
Comment 1 Ghislain Fourny 2014-02-17 10:14:24 UTC 
I agree with Mike.
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2014-02-19 09:26:00 UTC 
Changed as agreed, in both 3.0 and 3.1.
