I just came across the issue of getting the StackOverflowError in the
function reading long file and recursively building a list of data.
After I replaced function name with "recur" the problem went away.
Hence a couple of questions. It's the programmer's responsibility to
put recur instead of function names where tail-recursion is available?
(Kind of obvious, but then why the compiler wouldn't detect it?)
If tail-recursion is not available and function name has to be called,
how do I deal with stack overflow in this case?
