Well,

    (defmacro loop (&rest r)
      `(named-let recur . ,r))

does the trick AFAIK, except that it won't signal an error for uses of
`recur` which aren't recognized as tail-calls.

It would be easy to make a replacement of `cl-labels` which signals an
error if the recursice calls aren't recognized as tail-calls (the
current code already tests for it, but only in order to optimize the
`letrec` into a `let*` rather than to signal an error).
