Right. It's a recursive TLA.
For a definition of TLA see

For a definition of recursion see:

ASA would be a tail recursive TLA but I believe the first recursive
TLA was head recursive, and that TLA was GNU. Can anyone tell me what
it stands for *without* looking it up on the web? Pulling out your
GunEmacs manual is allowed as long as it's the old yellow one with the
weird drawing on the front that says something about the planet noi.
