- Has anyone got a *real* justification for recursive functions? They
- just provide a very obfuscated way of writing factorial().
- The point of my original posting was simply that there is no work to
- be done to specify how such things work, because they already work in exactly
- the way you'd expect. Whether there are useful things that can be done with
- such constructs is left as an exercise for the reader...
