Thank you.

I see that this form of existed recursive commands is not considered in our
article

Ivan, I think it needs find some nice example from Oracle with this syntax,
And "convert" it to our syntax.

When Ivan do work on above article, he have check existed solutions for

Interesting observation was that they all try resolve only search DOWN by
