Well, I don't think it is so much H&P leaving out functionality, more some guy
adding extra functionality. Any proper Amiga program should start from
Workbench (shell tools excepted of course) , and thus come with its own icon
in which the stack can be set to whatever, no need for weird compiler
trickery. If a user is in the habit of using the CLI to launch programs, he
should be using a large stack by default anyway, I'd have thought.
If you're doing a shell tool, then you can use the StackSwap function, as
discussed recently.
Basically, this is a 'luxury' item, I think. Not that it is not nice to have
in a compiler of course, but it's not fair on H&P to bash them for this.
IMHO, of course ;)
