I think we can all see that, but what relevance is it to the thread or 
this group?  If people had been wondering about whether "recursion" for 
algorithms must use "recursive function calls", you could have said "If 
your language doesn't support recursive functions, or you don't want to 
use them because of stack limits, you can emulate the stack in a data 
structure.  I did so years ago in BASIC."  The code itself is just 
noise, and we have enough of that.
