This is a cool hack. Our project (Stopify.org) can do this transformation on source JS programs and automatically give you heap bounded stacks transparently. A cool result of doing this in JavaScript is that any language that compiles to JavaScript (python, ocaml, Scala, c++, clojure...) can transparently get heap bounded stacks by just using our compiler. For some more examples, look at pyret (pyret.org) that also supports heap bounded stacks. (In fact, we were able to strip out the Pyret compiler and just use Stopify to get all these benefits)
