    It seems rather overly simplistic to say that you can't duplicate
alloca on your system.  You can't duplicate it with the same
efficiency, perhaps, but there's no reason you can't use a
dynamically-allocated stack.  Since it is portable in this way, why
should we refrain from using something that helps on our machines?
