A _stack_ $S$ consists of:
- two disjoint sets (of names): $I$, and $O$,
- a bijection $phi : [n] arrow.l.r I union.sq O$,
- types $T_1, ..., T_n$,
- types $bullet = sigma_1, sigma_2, ..., sigma_(n + 1) = nothing$,
- functions $f_1, ..., f_n$, each of which is
- of type $f_i : sigma_i times T_i arrow.r sigma_(i + 1)$, when $phi(i) in I$,
- and of type $f_i : sigma_i arrow.r sigma_(i + 1) times T_i$ when $phi(i) in O$.
