If we lose tail calls, this is possible. It simplifies things a lot. Direct motivation: We want ivecs with pointers pointing into themselves. When copying those, the pointers have to be adjusted. It is impossible to this when copying them with Load/Store.
This makes it easier for the caller to optimize the take/drop away for temporary values, and opens up new possibilities for alias handling. Breaks tail calls.

The first nail in the coffin of tail calls. It passes all tests, but I don't want to land it right away because some people might still believe in tail calls. So if you object, speak now or forever hold your peace. If no discussion is forthcoming (I'll post a heads-up on the mailing list), I'll merge this myself in a few days.
