I've been using recursion a lot lately and having to create 
multiple functions to deal with multiple paths can be a pain 
visually.

Instead, how bout a simpler syntax. This is just an idea, could 
be improved

void Recurse()
{
     scope(first)
     {
          `BLOCK`
     }
     scope(last)
     {
          `BLOCK`
     }

     Recurse();
}

which would be equivalent to

void Recurse2()
{
     Recurse2();
}

void Recurse()
{
     `BLOCK`
     Recurse2();
     `BLOCK`
}

doubling of functions starts to create a source mess.

Why not just:

void Recurse()
{
    static void Recurse2()
    {
       Recurse2();
    }

    `BLOCK`
    Recurse2()
    `BLOCK`
}
