6to5 now rewrites functions with TCO! https://github.com/6to5/6to5/pull/714#issuecomment-73433079 (I wrote an elisp equivalent, but this is far more general)
Added complete TCO (tail call optimization). by RReverser · Pull Request #714 · babel/babel

Works across functions and generates simpler and faster code than #701. Works even across files when used in conjunction with runtime option. Closes #256.
