With Safari 18.2 having shipped, all browsers now support WebAssembly Tail Calls. This allows the compiler to call a function at the end of the current function by reusing the stack frame. This should be a tiny bit faster and allow for recursion without stack overflows... except that Rust doesn't have any way of guaranteeing this yet, so you can't really rely on it.
