I see your point about the old name, but I find the new name
confusing. What about the stack that holds regular program variables
and temporaries? That is also dynamic, so at first I thought you were
referring to that. I didn't know what was going on until this email.

I thought of "control stack", since the things on it deal with control
flow. But that is also confusing, because it doesn't include return
addresses and frame pointers.
