To me this makes them seem like entirely different beasts. With call-stacks, allocation and deallocation is mutually bound to the stack-frame-return. While with dynamic-mutable-regions, we quickly can witness situations where we would like to reclaim independently of any statically analyzable motion between stack-frames or blocks. By my view, stacks could be said to be similar to only static-sized-regions, or immutable-dynamic-regions. Which one of us confused?
