That would be nice but it would not help much in this particular case and
is in fact not necessary since this can already be done using #while
inside functions.  In the example i gave i could have put a 'function {}'
around the while loop, leave out the #declare's and just sum up things
with the loop, this would avoid the recursion problem, but this does not
work if you build several functions in the while loop and don't want to
split into separate loops for speed reasons.
