I'm not worried about wasteful calls. Recursively descending through a
large data structure is the problem.
> Also, all core data structures or containers within Ruby Programming
Language provide mechanisms for easily iterating through their contents.
Perhaps the example was misleading, these are custom application data
structures with thousands of nodes.
