hmm... this reminded this quick hack I have in my local sources since 
last
couple of months. This reduces nreverse () call from 14129 to 4405 calls
for hello world in C++ using std::cout. It reduces nreverse () calls 
from
32090 to 11370 on larger test case.

OK to commit ?
Thank you,

       * tree.h (nreverse_fn): Rename nreverse () as nreverse_fn ().
       (nreverse): #define to call nreverse_fn ().
       * tree.c (nreverse_fn): Rename nreverse () as nreverse_fn ().
