strict
A function f is strict in an argument if
f bottom = bottom
(See bottom). In other words, the result depends on the argument so
evaluation of an application of the function cannot
terminate until evaluation of the argument has
terminated.
If the result is only bottom when the argument is bottom then the function is
also bottom-unique.
See also strict evaluation, hyperstrict.
