Personally I'm using it in Lazy <https://github.com/one-more-minute/Lazy.jl/blob/b5927a01f7ab8f95565d5bbe36a175b64825eda6/src/liblazy.jl#L102-L103>, just because it's the natural way to express that kind of problem. I'm only using tail self-calls though, which are easy enough to optimise away via a macro.
