I could add one more "x-place" and "y-place" options to 2htdp/image,
namely the "pinhole" place that would be tracked like the current
pinhole.

How do you think your waldo example would work with that extension to
2htdp/image?

Recursion is not complex. Perhaps you should read this book on the
subject; it's a nice introduction to programming where you clean learn
more about recursion: http://www.htdp.org/
