125+ The stack is a customizable size holder for window configurations. It
126+ folds over. Moving after the end restarts from the beginning and vice
127+ versa. Old configurations are dropped due to a chosen reduction in its
128+ size or an exceding number of configurations saved.

137+
138+ When a configuration is modified, adjacent positions in the stack are

140+ a case, modification flag and direction followed are set accordingly.

123144Here, we want to create a bunch of windows. We can use ` 2 ` and ` 3 ` to
124145make splits like their native emacs commands ` C-x 2 ` and ` C-x 3 ` . Use
125146` 0 ` to kill the split. If you want to go down to a single, use the
