UnrealScript solves this another way:
http://unreal.epicgames.com/UnrealScript.htm:
Singular: The "singular" keyword, which appears immediately
before a function declaration, prevents a function from
calling itself recursively. The rule is this: If a certain
actor is already in the middle of a singular function, any
subsequent calls to singular functions will be skipped over.
This is useful in avoiding infinite-recursive bugs in some
cases. For example, if you try to move an actor inside of
your "Bump" function, there is a good chance that the actor
will bump into another actor during its move, resulting in
another call to the "Bump" function, and so on. You should
be very careful in avoiding such behaviour, but if you can't
write code with complete confidence that you're avoiding
such potential recursive situations, use the "singular"
keyword.
Disclaimer: I can't write UnrealScript to save my life, so I
don't know how useful this is in reality.
