[Tutor] Stack unwind using exceptions.

Hello everyone,

Would it be considered unorthodox or 'wrong' in some sense for me to use 
an exception to unwind the stack and return to a caller for a recursive 
function?

I need to do a depth first search and when I find the right element to 
just stop the whole thing, and get back to the caller saying that I 
found it.


TIA.
