If you did that, you would have to add the concept of a "no delay"
function back in some other way.  There are places where functions
with delays could not be allowed without causing serious problems
for simulation.

Relaxing the restrictions on side-effects is less of a problem.  I
don't know how valuable their protection is to designers.  If they
are seen as too valuable to give up, I suppose one compromise would
be to remove the restrictions only on class method functions.
