        Is tail recursion REQUIRED of Scheme implementations, or is just in all
        the papers because it is easy to do in most Scheme implementations.
    
    It's absolutely as essential as garbage collection. [...]

I recall reading some old Lisp Machine papers that suggested
garbage collection should be avoided (DDI = Don't Do It!)  :-) :-)
