Tail recursion optimisation considered possible

A comment by one of my colleagues made me realize that now that we
have __SUB__ keyword we can do a limited form of
tail-recursion-optimization.

Basically if a subroutine qualifies as "tail recursive" we can check
to see if the __SUB__ points at the same function as the function
calls resolves to.

If they are the same we can avoid the stack manipulation and replace
the sub call by @_ munging and goto.
