MacroPy also has an implementation of TCO implemented using trampolining. It trades stack introspection for load-time-analysis, which could be a win or a loss depending on how you view things.

I wrote one that uses decorators. How is that special syntax?

You can use tail recursion elimination in Python as it is today.

I have seen many "implementations" of tail-call optimization, and their common problem is that they all require special syntax to work. I need a solution that is directly usable with Python's orrdinary return statement.
