Umm, unlimited recursion would take an unlimited amount of time and 
memory, it's better to let a function hit a limit and produce a parse or 
render time error. Even those who know what they are doing would never 
use this option...there is no reason I can see to let this "safety net" 
be removed.

It would be nice if you could adjust the max nesting level of macros too.
