   I'm leaning toward closing this for a couple reasons:
   
   * Setting a depth limit of something like 10 would still be vulnerable to 
billion-laughs style attacks.
   * The issues that a depth limit would help prevent have already been fixed 
through other strategies.
   * Adding a depth limit to this particular code is really pushing its 
complexity to a point where nobody can reasonably continue maintaining it.
   
   Do you have a test or demo that could show what a depth limit of 10 (or any 
arbitrary depth limit) would help solve that the current implementation can't 
handle?
