Frankly both of these seem dire to me :-).
The abuse of the word "Pure" is the direst. What is pure about *adding*
an additional constraint to a C-F capture? Pure = simple = unadorned.
"Half" is nearly as bad - I object to the false arithemeticity. If I
may contrast the term "half-pin": there is in this term some reason why
it is "half" rather than a "third".
Please can someone who is not famous already compose some problems with
this theme, and then we can name the pattern after them :-)
Love,
Andrew.
