At this point I'm feeling rather stupid. Can anyone please tell me, or
point out a convenient reference, about "trampoline". I thought a
simple loop is sufficient to preserve (eliminate!) tail
recursion. There must be something that I have overlooked in this
jumpy business. May be something to do with mutual recursion?
