JRuby has been on the forefront of testing out new JVM features from
the MLVM project, but even we haven't had a chance to play with tail
calls yet. It certainly requires resources.

Either way, though...I think they should be added so we have the
option to use them. It's a chicken/egg thing...languages don't support
TCO because the JVM doesn't. JVM doesn't support TCO because the
languages don't use it. Something's got to give, and since we have a
working patch...shove it in.
