```
TailCall processLeavingTail()
                     throws XPathException
```
    Process this TailCall (that is, executed the template call that is packaged in this object). This may return a further TailCall, which should also be processed: this is the mechanism by which a nested set of recursive calls is converted into an iteration.
    
    Returns:
    
    a further TailCall, if the recursion continues, or null, indicating that the recursion has terminated.
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException - if any error occurs processing the tail call
