Indeed - hasn't it been proven that any recursive algorithm can be
reimplemented iteratively?
Recursion may be elegant, but stack space limits it badly, and it's
almost always slower, because of all of the function calling overhead
(function calls also tend to defeat the optimisations modern compilers
could make if the implementation were iterative).
Er. This doesn't have much to do with X11 does it?!
