Thanks for teaching me about the fn trampoline, which I had never seen/used before! Really cool project!

  Yeah trampoline is kind of rare. You only see it in cases where some functions are mutually recursive.

  It's very useful. I once had a codebase where we wrote two (parallel) variants of trampoline called tramampoline and trambopoline, and I'm not even a little bit sorry.

Is this because trampoline is written such that it takes advantage of tail call optimization even if the inner function doesn't? https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/clojure-1.9.0/src/clj/clojure/core.clj#L6219 https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/clojure-1.9.0/src/cl...
