//! # **P**ortable **S**tack **M**anipulation
//! This crate provides portable functions to control the stack pointer and inspect the properties
//! of the stack. This crate does not attempt to provide safe abstractions to any operations, the
//! only goals are correctness, portability and efficiency (in that exact order). As a consequence
//! most functions you will find in this crate are unsafe.
//!
//! Note, that the stack allocation is left up to the user. Unless you’re writing a safe
//! abstraction over stack manipulation, this is unlikely to be the crate you want. Instead
//! consider one of the safe abstractions over this crate such as `stacker`. Another good place to
//! look at is the crates.io’s reverse dependency list.
