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).
