5.2.2 [expr.call]/9 says
"Recursive calls are permitted, except to the function named main (3.6.1)."
Since there's that cross-reference, it's otherwise correct, but I'd prefer it
to say "to the main function" instead of "to the function named main", since
nothing prevents me from having functions named main in user-defined namespaces
or as member functions of classes.
