http://scalax.scalaforge.org/cla-i.htmlI'm about to add this, but first a question about naming:
We've got two possibilities given here: 'listRecursively' and
'recurse'. However, IIRC Python calls this function 'walk', which I
quite like. In particular, 'recurse' seems a strange choice when in
fact we're unrolling the recursion by providing an iterator.
Any opinions?
