Description
Lua doesn't support recursive types to my knowledge. sproto builds around Lua types. Does it mean recursive structures are not supported by sproto?
My goal is to get rid of protocol buffers and switch to sproto, but recursive structures are a must have (I'd like to represent Dao types which support recursion).

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by examining sproto's schema and Lua type handling to determine whether recursive structures can be represented; done means documenting a clear answer and, if support is feasible, defining the required behavior and scope.
