Well, I suppose that would be me. I tend to agree with Constantine -- 
distributed weak references make me nervous, and I'd like to avoid them.

In any case, if local eventual loops are tail-recursive, whether using Kevin's 
technique or Constantine's, I don't see what the remaining distributed 
tail-recursion issue is. Can someone provide an example?
