> tail calls are now fully optimized

Can't remember where I heard this, but I'm given to understand they aren't optimized, just allowed. As in, recursive calls from tail position won't be super-fast or anything, they just won't blow out the call stack. Optimization may or may not be added to the engine at some future date.
