Actually TCO cannot because you still need to unwind the stack but it would
always be calling the first workHard, even before the finnally one is called..

It is not that bizarre as what is happening is that the function is being
marked as a "pure" function so it does nothing useful, so we remove it. 

Anyways I am marking this as a dup of bug 1373.  This comes down to the halting
problem.
