One very serious danger with using alloca is that alloca interferes with
tail-call
optimization. After debugging code using alloca a couple times, I would be
really
hard pressed to every use alloca again.

Is there any way to safely use alloca in ATS? I know the language has
features for both safe pointer arithmetic and safe use of
stack-allocated variables... so it would be nice to both guarantee no
out-of-bounds array accesses and no subsequent uses of the pointer.
