Last time I heard anything, its state was "it works but the
opportunities for actually applying the optimization are quite rare". It
was a long list of requirements that the C function should fulfill.
The one keyword that stuck with me was setjmp/longjmp, but that was just
one entry in a far-too-long-for-my-taste list of potential TCO inhibitors.
