// Moral: Whenever a recursive function is resource-critical
// (i.e. works with large recursion depth), then you need to
// write it in tail-recursive fashion.
//
// Unfortuantely, Scala because of current limitations in
// the JVM is not as clever as other functional languages. It can
// only optimise "self-tail calls". This excludes the cases of
// multiple functions making tail calls to each other. Well,
// nothing is perfect.
