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.
