My intention was always that you would still be able to do:

    sub foo($x,$y) {
        ...;
        no warnings;
        local @_ = (1,2);
        goto &tail_call;
    }

the only slight complication being that I anticipated the warnings
category to disable off would be something like 'signatures', but in 5.36
at least, it's actually 'experimental' - and is likely to vary between
releases.
