No it shouldn't. Tail call optimization is far more useful in the case of:


   sub foo {
      # do something
      bar();
   }


or


   sub foo {
     # do something
     foo();
   }

than in perl's "goto &foo" feature, if for no other reason (and there are other reasons) than it's far more common.
