Another argument against this patch is that it makes it harder to
debug; conceptually, the process is recursive, and its sometimes
useful to be able to walk up the chain and see how you got where you
are.
I'm all for speeding up the compiler -- but I'm old-fashioned.
Let's profile first, and attack the hot spots!
