Subject. Whether it is possible to rewrite demoLang4 without using reduction rule (for example, using reference macro in code of insert_Panel directly)?

Seems to be working with approach described :-) Why what tutorial says sounds almost like if reduction is necessary to overcome problems with recursion?

AFAIK, reduction is necessary, since the aim is to teach users about reduction rules. Avoiding reduction rules might be left as a nice exercise more adventurous users, I think.

And what about proposed approach? It seems to be working, but whether it is guaranteed to do so?
