Would something like Clojure's recur and trampoline do what you 
want?

http://www.clojure.org/about/functional_programming#_recursive_looping

A number of Common Lisp programmers like to use those functions 
because TCO is then guaranteed, and unlike Common Lisp where you 
don't know for sure what will happen, it is explicit.
