I tried this:

(declare F)

(defn M [n]
  (if (zero? n)
    0
    (- n (F (M (dec n))))))

(defn F [n]
  (if (zero? n)
    1
    (- n (M (F (dec n))))))

and for large n I got the expected stack overflow. Then I tried to
trampoline the functions:

(declare F)

(defn M [n]
  (if (zero? n)
    0
    #(- n (F (M (dec n))))))

(defn F [n]
  (if (zero? n)
    1
    #(- n (M (F (dec n))))))

Now (trampoline #(M 7)) yields
java.lang.ClassCastException: user$M__760$fn__762 cannot be cast to
java.lang.Number (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0)

Does anybody have an idea to get this to work?
