:description "The trampoline function takes a function f
and a variable number of parameters.
Trampoline calls f with any parameters that were supplied.
If f returns a function, trampoline
calls that function with no arguments.
This is repeated, until the return value is not a function,
and then trampoline returns that non-function value.
This is useful for implementing mutually recursive algorithms
in a way that won't consume the stack."
