Two observations:

* Every loop has to use a tail-call.
* The interpreter automatically inserts a yield at every 2000 function
calls.

Of course, if you end up waiting for a message and none has arrived, you
are put on a sleep queue until such a message arrives.

.. it is still somewhat up-to-date with the current state-of-the-art.
