Given the proposed changes:
1) make a seperate eval loop that supports tail calls so as not to impact performance of normal programs, 2) force tail calls to be explicitly enabled using a run-time function call, 3) print a warning in stack traces when tail calls are enabled and used. is Guido still -1 on this?
Just a guess but "make a seperate eval loop" sounds like a sure way to get a 10,000 pound weight dropped on you? Seriously, how do you accomplish this without code duplication?
