Just the other day, I did a multi-level break (9 levels) program and part of
the break processing was easier to do recursively. Just had the function
call itself repeatedly to trigger dependent levels, and it unrolled itself
nicely when done.

Bill of Materials and Bill of Lading. Two perfect uses for recursion.

Now, some would say "you don't need that". Well, to make it "right" and not
set at a specific level and have spaghetti code everywhere, yes, you do need
it. :)

I've also used it for my JSON parsing routine, to an extent.
