Right.  Although I'd consider Quicksort too complex as an introduction to 
recursion as the algorithms workings are not so easy to grasp and would 
distract from the concept of recursion.  Tree search seems to be the most 
appropriate to me.  Still, introducing recursion as a concept in programming 
does not belong into class reference documentation.  This is something for a 
tutorial or other introductory material.

Kind regards
