Trying to understand the reason for future reference why inline functions marked as tailrec can't be recursive in Kotlin. Is that because of fear of inlining too much?. Shouldn't tailrec take precedence and what gets inline is just a while loop? Thanks!

I would suspect it's a limitation of the compiler, tail-recursion optimization might happen at a later stage than inlining.
