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?
