Sorry about the typo.  I was trying out several different versions of 
the class in the same module, and forgot to include to change Demo to 
Demo9 in the recursive call.

I didn't like that approach anyway, as it smacked of taking advantage of 
some implementation accident.  The other approaches are more 
straightforward.
