there can't be any "misunderstanding" from compiler side.
either it is a leaf return, or not -- it is as easy as that.
what your DIP is aimed for is brain-damaged coders who are not
able to understand how programs work (and why "scope(exit)" may
prevent TCO). it won't help anyone. sorry.
Yes, there is no cure for poor skills, but the point is to
prevent the need to avoid recursion to ensure there are no stack
