Hi,
In some ML languages like Ocaml the compiler detects tail-recursions and
automatically changes it to a while loop before assembling into machine code.
Does D have this tail-recursion-optimization too?

D the language doesn't say if a given compiler should or shouldn't detect tail recursion. The dmd compiler doesn't. I think the gdc compiler does - but I haven't actually checked.
