One that helps with being correct.

That is the problem, there ISN'T an equivalent.

Since code reuse is done by code dupication, the current state shows the 
eqivalent of the stack trace, as each "parent" call to a given 
"function" creates its own copy of that function.

Since computabiliry isn't about efficency or resource usage, the 
duplication isn't a problem.
