- If it is considered reasonable to force the programmer to declare the
- size of all arrays at compile time why isn't it reasonable to force
- the programmer to declare the depth of recursion at compile time?

- It seems to me that it would be better to take this approach than to
- have all the programmers writing their own code to implement recursion
- with all the wasted time and errors that involves.
