I think (2) is definitely not wanted. If the locality of a change to
the defaultStack propagates back to callers, then the callers loose
control and knowledge of what they are actually acting on.

Note that this is *not* the current behavior. Changing the defaultStack in a callee will propagate the change back up to the caller.

i.e.

on mouseUp
  set the defaultStack to "Foo"
  changeDefaultStackInCallee
  answer the defaultStack -- will be "Bar"
end mouseUp

on changeDefaultStackInCallee
  set the defaultStack to "Bar"
end changeDefaultStackInCallee

Here you'll get 'Bar' in the answer dialog.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
