Hmm, most of the time I don't need this type of thing, but if I want to 
pass an anonymous callback that is recursive, the rec form comes in quite 
handy. I find writing
  (letrec ((loop
             (lambda (p)
               (if (pred? p) (foo p) (loop (bar p))))))
    loop)
much more awkward than
  (rec (loop p) (if (pred? p) (foo p) (loop (bar p)))
