[Agda] Agda "trusted core".

Hello,
I hope this is a suitable way to float an idea:
I have felt it would be a good idea to delimit the scopes in which
recursion is to be allowed with an explicit "rec/mutual" keyword. There
is something extremely dangerous about recursion, and ideally there
should be just a few instances of recursive definitions in an Agda
program. The recursion-free fragment of Agda would be a kind of
trusted core.
[In the editor, ideally sirens should go off and red lights flash when
one enters the scope of a ret.]
