: Unless you heap allocate all values, copying the stack naively

This suggests a question, which may be of interest to many list

garbage-collected heap activation frames without an enormous

My citeseeker search was less than satisfactory, only turning up Dirk
Grunwald, 1994.  I would have expected more investigation in this
area, considering the utility for parallel OOPL compilers, Actor
systems, etc.
