It is sorta difficult to imagine how recursion might  be  implemented
without  something  isomorphic to a stack.  If someone claims they've
done it, I'd just ask what they called the stack if not "stack".  ;-)

(The obvious answers are words like "list" or "vector".  But if items
are  added and deleted from such structures only at one end, then you
have a stack under a different name.)
