Exceptions

FWIW the dictionary definition of idiomatic is "peculiar to or
charcteristic of a particular language". I guess you could say
recursion is idiomatic of some arbitrary FP language, but not C++

Um, not according to my dictionary: "using, containing, or denoting
expressions that are natural to a native speaker."

In C++ don't use recursion if you can help it IMO. Its far more
efficient in code space and time to use a loop.

Note that there is still no evidence of that in this case.

Correction to the above. I meant data space rather than code space.
Apologies.
