(debug-level 2)
behavior, but reduce its guarantees (#834)
When `debug-level` is 2 or more, optimization is supposed to refrain from moving a call to an error function into tail position of the enclosing function. (That's a stronger guarantee than the usual one of not moving an expression into tail position if there's potentially a way to detect the movement through continuation marks.) An earlier commit 6a73b9e strengthened movement of error calls in a way that did not preserve this `(debug-level 2)` constraint, so this commit primarily adjusts those changes. Also, the earlier commit 19af32e allowed the compiler to move an error call out of tail position, and that transformation is now suppressed when `debug-level` is 2 or more. These changes are meant to help with debugging, but they're not enough to implement the previously specified behavior of `debug-level`. It turns out that Chez Scheme v9.x didn't implement the specified behavior, either, because it would convert `(let ([x (error ...)]) x)` to just `(error ...)`, for example. The old specification seems too strong, and so part of the revision here is to change the specificaton to be encouraging a particular interaction of errors and continuaton-inspection results, but not guaranteeing it. Meanwhile, when well-defined reflection on continuations is needed, continuation marks provide that functionality.
