Show distinct markings or colors for compiler optimised tail recursion
Migrated from http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/ticket/1924
Reporter lexn82
Sometimes it may not be obvious if compiler is going to apply tail recursion optimisation or not. Having distinct marking or colors in the code editor would remove any second guessing - one would be able tell for sure if a function is optimised as tail recursion or not.
This would help programmers with imperative background to switch to the functional programming. Also it would make performance bugs associated with improper tail recursion easier to spot and fix.
Such feature would require some kind of "info" message from the compiler. However this should not break any compatibility with the previous version of the software.
