Can I ask a stupid question: what is the problem we're trying to solve?
Are we trying to avoid getting a stack overflow from runaway recursion?
If so, what are we going to replace it with? I see we have two options:
1. Simply deny the macro call
or
2. Throw another exception (MacroDepthExceededException?)
The way I see it, neither of these options is any better than simply
allowing the stack overflow to occur.
Stack overflows can be caused by many things. Throwing a
MacroDepthException is much more informative, and in the case of 3rd
party templates being introduced to a running system, can prevent DOS
type stuff.
Am I crazy?
not at all. this is a really good thing to ask before putting effort
into something like this!
