Yes, sure. I'm not claiming that it actually indicates a recursive procedure. All I ment to say was that the *declaration* is 'recursive', in the sense that it refers to itself. (This recursiveness of the declaration is not to be confused with run-time recursiveness, where a procedure calls itself.)
