Hear, hear! +1 Can I only vote once? +10

Hm, maybe a general compile-time assert would be in order, once we
have real tail-call optimization, so that even in the mutual-recursion
case you could get a nice error if you make a mistake like:
(def foo []
(+ 10
(tail-call bar 1 2)))
Although something less ugly might be nice.
