	While were at it it would be nice to have the compiler determine of
a function is tail recursive and create different code appropriately. It should
just reset the values in the stack instead allocating more space on the stack
if a function is returning the value of itself beeing called. There are a
few tricky things to do here, especialy with passing the parameters but I can
think of ways of handling this.

[ moderator's note: Some compilers routinely eliminate tail recursion.
  It gives astounding results on some benchmarks which attempt to
  measure function-call performance. -sdc ]
