I agree, FWIW. If the feature was that desirable, we could look at
questions of implementation to make recursion either unnecessary or at
least
I will put my support for David Johnston's proposal, in principle, though minor
details of syntax could be changed if using "!" conflicts with something. --

there's a pretty good reason NOT to support that, namely that this
