Hmmm… what I'm really getting at smacks of your 'dream compiler'… I'm
thinking of this stack manager _allocater_ that _allocates_ more stack for
you (up to the limit of mem) "as you need it", and thus would grow 'up'.
If it grew 'down' then that kinda' implies that you set some top limit and
eventually (much more quickly) hit 'bottom' (ie. the current state of
affairs).
