    the function is constant-foldable, i.e. is pure and has no side-effects.

    In some situations it is ok to use this decorator if the function *has*
    side effects, as long as these side-effects are idempotent. A typical
    example for this would be a cache.

    To be totally precise:

    (1) the result of the call should not change if the arguments are
        the same (same numbers or same pointers)
    (2) it's fine to remove the call completely if we can guess the result
        according to rule 1
    (3) the function call can be moved around by optimizer,
        but only so it'll be called earlier and not later.

    Most importantly it doesn't mean that an elidable function has no observable
    side effect, but those side effects are idempotent (ie caching).
    If a particular call to this function ends up raising an exception, then it
    is handled like a normal function call (this decorator is ignored).
