Hi Darjus, I'm responding here to your question for IRC:

sys.setrecursionlimit does not seem to have effect because what it seems is happening is that we get Java's StackOverflow (the code to test that is def recurse(): recurse() )
Should we be checking the recursion limit with systemstate.getrecursionlimit() somewhere and we don't? Or that's expected?

You are right that we don't want to see Java's stack overflow when we are dealing in pure Python code and so you are probably right that we need to better check our recursion limit.
