If you are using an auxiliary stack, then you haven't eliminated recursion,
you have just moved it from being implicitly done by the function call
mechanism to being explicitly done by having your program save/restore the
values on your auxiliary stack.  If, in all cases, you can get rid of the
stack *model*, then I will agree that recursion can always be eliminated.
