See also [Yet another TCO thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/yet-another-tco-thread/81146) and [Does Julia have tail call optimization](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/does-julia-have-tail-call-optimization/64101).

I don’t think there’s much new to be said here. If you think tail-call optimization is important for Julia, you probably don’t really understand what it’s for.
