Description
Compare the following:
```m2
i1 : f = () -> f();
i2 : g = x -> g x;
i3 : h = (x,y) -> h(x,y);
i4 : i = (x,y,z) -> i (x,y,z);
i5 : f()
stdio:1:11:(3):[301]: error: recursion limit of 300 exceeded
i6 : g 0 -- hangs
C-c C-cstdio:2:11:(3):[1]: error: interrupted
i7 : h(0,0)
stdio:3:14:(3):[301]: error: recursion limit of 300 exceeded
i8 : i(0,0,0)
stdio:4:16:(3):[301]: error: recursion limit of 300 exceeded

Research direction
Reproduce the examples in the issue, especially the one-argument function g 0, and compare its behavior with the zero-, two-, and three-argument cases. Trace the interpreter's recursion-limit handling for one-argument function calls; done means g 0 reports the recursion-limit error instead of hanging.
