Comment #9 on issue 457 by [email protected]: Tail call elimination (feature request)
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=457
Comment #1 is correct and comment #6 is backwards. function.arguments and function.caller are not sanctioned by any spec. But they are part of de facto JS that any browser must honor to be compatible with the legacy web.
So TCO, if done, should apply only to strict functions for the reasons stated at http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:proper_tail_calls
