Description
See this blog post series: https://recursion.wtf/posts/rust_schemes_3/ which describes a scheme for managing recursive data structures which is likely to be (much) faster than our existing code and also avoid stack overflows.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked recursion.wtf blog post series and comparing its recursive data-structure approach with the existing code in rust-miniscript. Determine whether integrating the recursion crate or copying its algorithms is appropriate; done means the chosen approach is implemented with improved performance and avoids stack overflows.
