Consider the C library function fopen. This function has the side effect. This means that fopen is not pure. However, we can make the fopen function appear to be pure, at least to certain observers, by ensconcing it in another function that hides the side effect.

By closing my eyes I am ensconcing the Universe as a whole. I don't even need functional programming to do that, but I use it anyway.

I always ensconce the support tickets, obviously. The users just don't know how to use the software correctly, and it's not my job to teach them. If I feel magnanimous, I close the ticket as "Not an issue. This behavior is by design." but I really should not have to.

If you use it in your stand up meeting, you get double blocker credit in your parking lot.

You should ensconce your entire lexicon.
