Agreed that "callee", while technically accurate, is a clumsy word and
something like "self" sounds better.  "function.self", in particular,
seems to communicate the right semantic, and implies that you're
receiving a function .

It doesn't feel... apt, I think, to bring the caller/callee
relationship to mind when you're not trying to deal with that
relationship; all you're trying to do is recurse on yourself, in the
case where you don't have a name to refer to yourself with.  The fact
that you're running because someone else called you is irrelevant to
this dynamic.
