True, but it is intrusive.  If the task is to modify code that leads
to tail recursion, it becomes a parsing job (lexical substitution like
LuaMacro won't do the job)

Actually, original idea of modifying Lua to emit plain return opcodes
seems the best, esp. if it could be done optionally by a switch.
Would this effect program semantics in any other way, apart from
potential stack overflows?
