gollark: Technically, not tail recursion.
gollark: ```schemeWarning: "exit" called while processing on-exit tasksError: uncaught exception: #<condition: (user-interrupt)> Call history: <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <eval> [metagollariosity] (z y x z) <--```How exciting.
