This is hard to see working for difficult image problems .. in te sense that if you can algorithmically label, isn't your model done already? However the thing is about labels being noisy and using multiple labeling strategies to help

I've seen the term "tail call elimination" applied to this general case and TCO applied to the recursion case. Is that still common? TCE is the more general one obviously .. and is what we almost always want.
