I would. Because at the pure end imperative->declarative spectrum, you lose turing completeness.

It is certainly less imperative than the equivalent C, that's for sure.

That's not true at all. The following is a declarative program:

    Yield an interpretation of a set of boolean variables that satisfies the following conditions:
      - A AND B
      - (NOT C) or A or B
      - A AND (NOT C)
      ...etc
