I'm still interested in the explicit "replace current stack frame with this call" operation. Calling it "goto" seems wrong, as most languages with goto restrict it to _within_ a function,
This just suggests to me is that most language designers are not very imaginative. :-) A tail call *is* a goto. That's how you implement one in assembly language -- you write a jump instruction instead of a call instruction. The jump doesn't have to be to the same function.
