Truffle frames are just Java objects, so when the exception returns us to the root of the method, we can create a new frame to run an entirely different method.

We aren't looking to modify Java, so we aren't the people to ask for a tail-call instruction in the bytecode.



Oh, you're heap-allocating frames? You know what I'm going to ask about next, right? First-class continuations :-)
