For obvious reasons, recursion cannot cause anything detrimental if it
is automaticlly removed. But if there wasn't a problem to begin with,
there would be no reason for this automatic removal. 'Tail recursion'
is essentially something which shouldn't be used because the recursion
doesn't really help with anything in this case: The fact that it is
'at the tail' implies that the current processing step can be
completed before the next step and the most 'natural' represention of
that is a processing loop. Recursion is useful when the current
processing step cannot be completed before the result of the next
processing step is known, IOW, when some algorithm must first move to
the tail of something and then process data backwards from there,
utilizing the 'state information' that's stored in the environments of
the stacked subroutine invocations. In an imperative language, it is
essentially a trick which can be used to cause the compiler 
generate the necessary state management code (at the expense of a
certain runtime overhead) automatically instead of writing it by
hand.

People who like express simple things in weird, complicated ways have
(for decades, presumably) relied on computer program to silently
undo the weirdness in order to maintain the illusion that what they
are doing actually makes any sense ...
