It then further generalised to anything "state machiney" :)

State machines are essential for computers to work. The processor itself is a state machine.
The stack has state.
If I was to implement a processor emulator in D I would have the same problem.

The idea that you can just 'get' a value from memory without modifing anything is an illusion created by the computer.
