Classic Ackermann function:
let rec ack m n =
if m = 0 then n + 1
else if n = 0 then ack (m - 1) 1
else ack (m - 1) (ack m (n - 1))
ack(3, 4) = 125, expanding to ~6700 evaluator frames — a useful
stress test of the call stack and control transfer. Real OCaml
evaluates this in milliseconds; ours takes ~2 minutes on a
contended host but completes correctly.
40 baseline programs total.
