I would call that evaluating x twice (incidentally creating two separate evaluations of one pure action description), but I'd like to better see your perspective here.
x is only evaluated once, but /executed/ twice. For IO, that means magic. For other types, it means different things. For Identity, twice = id!
Your point being? x is the same thing regardless of how many times you run it.
