I don't know of a paper, but on the Tcl wiki there is some discussion of the "non-recursive evaluation" (NRE) engine that enables these features [1]. More formal descriptions of the new coroutine [2] and tailcall [3] commands are listed, among others, here [4].

Update: more details on the NRE implementation are available here [5] at the contributing author's site; anonymous login required.
