Well, kinda... I started the thread which described the original 
proposal in detail, and described how it was actually sound and 
potentially useful:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/Idea_partially_pure_functions_70762.html

But the idea itself didn't originate from me, it was derived from 
something you said, (or at least inspired by something you said):

"I want to conceptualize an idea that has been briefly mentioned in the
previous pure discussions (by Don I think?), but has not been explicitly 
brought into attention."
