sadly, confused about recursive "recrdeptask" dependencies

[Robert P. J. Day]

  first, reading bitbake user manual and, in the section on dependency
task flags, i see nothing about the "recideptask" flag, which i only
tripped over recently while perusing oe-core:

distrodata.bbclass:do_distrodataall[recideptask] = "do_${BB_DEFAULT_TASK}"
distrodata.bbclass:do_checkpkgall[recideptask] = "do_${BB_DEFAULT_TASK}"
distrodata.bbclass:do_distro_checkall[recideptask] = "do_${BB_DEFAULT_TASK}"
distrodata.bbclass:do_checklicenseall[recideptask] = "do_${BB_DEFAULT_TASK}"
utility-tasks.bbclass:do_checkuriall[recideptask] = "do_${BB_DEFAULT_TASK}"
utility-tasks.bbclass:do_fetchall[recideptask] = "do_${BB_DEFAULT_TASK}"

should that be documented?

  and as for "recrdeptask", well, i'm pretty sure i understand
build-time dependencies, and run-time dependencies, but does
recrdeptask correspond only to recursive run-time dependencies, or
*both* types of dependencies (as well as inter-task dependencies)? i'm
reading section 3.9.4 in the bitbake user manual, and i'm still
confused.
