/**
    wxStack<T> is similar to @c std::stack and can be used exactly like it.

    If wxWidgets is compiled in STL mode, wxStack will just be a typedef to
    @c std::stack but the advantage of this class is that it is also available
    on the (rare) platforms where STL is not, so using it makes the code
    marginally more portable. If you only target the standard desktop
    platforms, please always use @c std::stack directly instead.

    The main difference of this class compared to the standard version is that
    it always uses wxVector<T> as the underlying container and doesn't allow
    specifying an alternative container type. Another missing part is that the
    comparison operators between wxStacks are not currently implemented. Other
    than that, this class is exactly the same as @c std::stack, so please refer
    to the STL documentation for further information.
