Supporting recursive components is a little tricky, in terms of managing internal state of the component while it renders and re-renders. Right now you can a specific "components can't be recursive" error. In the future (5.1 or beyond) this may be supported, though it may require some extra gymnastics triggered by an annotation. Tthe extra gymnastics will store and restore state before and after the component renders recursively ... because of the expense, a special annotation may be needed.
