Oh, yeah, I see what you mean by function head patterns. I'm aware of the coding pattern from Haskell, just didn't know the name :)

I don't think Rust will get support for that. You can simulate it with macros (and, later, syntax extensions). Of course, that isn't as clean as pure language support. I know why it makes recursion (esp tail recursion) easier to use though. You could always bring it up on the forums and try though.
