Functions/methods that call themselves, as opposed to having a higher-level function that takes a function as an argument and does something recursive with it.

EDIT: I was going to criticize your idea that there is anything lacking in "naked recursion". It's a really powerful technique and in fact I just wrote a recursive function for production code an hour ago. Comment continued here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=555714
