	Come to think there's no such storage classes as "manual", and I
never heard of explicit decreation of "intern" variable.  Is static opposite
to auto? (maybe).  If so auto must have been called "dynamic".

	I buy it.  And instead of segmentation fault, you get "flat tire",
"chain is torn", etc.  But in this implementation, pop sometimes dumps
core :)
