Recall is used as a placeholder for the name of the function
in which it is called. It allows the definition of recursive
functions which still work after being renamed, see example below.

all the arguments to be passed. |
## A trivial (but inefficient!) example:
fib <- function(n) if(n<=2) {if(n>=0) 1 else 0} else Recall(n-1) + Recall(n-2)
fibonacci <- .Alias(fib) ## renaming wouldn't work without Recall
fibonacci(10) # 55
