I only have basic constant folding yet in terms of optimizations, but I'm very aware of TCO. I haven't decided if I want to require an annotation to guarantee it like Rust is going to.


Please require some form of annotation like an explicit `tailcall` operator or something similar. TCO wrecks havoc on actionable backtraces, so it should be opt-in rather than opt-out.


I am very sympathetic to this, for sure.
