Recursively comparing

[Archie Cobbs]

I am a native English speaker but I also found this slightly confusing :)

The problem is, for better or worse, the word "recursive" is too closely
associated with the phrase "deep equals" in people's minds.

Maybe it could be clarified a bit: "Other field values—both identity and
value objects— are compared using the == operator. Note that this
definition is recursive in the case of value object fields".
