User-Defined Float Functions':

Limits: 

- The maximum recursion depth for nesting functions is 128.

Oh come on, povers are commonly not known for their temperance...  

Constructions like the following are very useful, but regularly exceed
this limit.

#while (...)  

  ...
  
  #local fn_new1 = function { fn_1(x, y, z) + fn_foo(x, y, z)
}              
  #undef fn_1                    
  #local fn_1 = function { fn_new1(x, y, z) } 
  #undef fn_new1 

  ...

#end
