   Absolutely.  As Chucks prime target of interest (hardware) uses LIFO   
   registers for stacks, only the top top one, or so, R stack items could   
   be used for restricted local storage (which is also common practice).   
      
   I accept that locals are useful, and would like to see hardware stack   
   engine implementations that support this better while retaining the   
   performance advantage of a stack cache implemented as LIFO registers   
   rather than in RAM.
