   "Usable" means something else to me than "it won't fail".   
      
   And yes, I realized that the stack would wrap.   
      
   I can drive a 10-tonner thru the narrow streets of a small town and call me   
   being moved from A to B being usable (even if no other cars can use the road   
   at that moment).   What would be much more usable is to take a smaller,   
   two-person car, especially if I have no actual cargo to displace.
