OK, so I ask for foo.example and I get 

; answer
 foo.example NS ns.bar.example
; additional
ns.bar.example AAAA 2001:0DB8:0000:000b::2

Does it check that's the right value for ns.bar.example?  How about with DNSSEC?  I suppose

I still don't see the benefit of trying to make some loops work when we know that we
can't make cross-zone loops work.

R's,
