I agree that this task is overly specific to a particular language design; '''I disapprove of it''' as it stands, because a lot of languages' take on this problem is simply "We do not require declaration-before-use". I was going to suggest that it be generalized to "that which the language requires you to do to write mutually recursive functions", but we already have the task [[mutual recursion]]. I would like to see this draft task generalized to ''state a problem'', allowing languages' methods of solution of it to be illustrated, rather than showing variants of a specific solution. —[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 21:31, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
