Would it matter? I mean, normally you break out of the recursion if the value
goes above a certain level, so it would be an inefficient "loop", but wouldn't
the result be the same?

I only know about mandelbrot - have I missed an issue with other fractal-types?
(or just not understood the problem ;)
