            REQUIREMENTS ON T
                T must be swappable by a global swap() and
                T must have a default constructor

            REQUIREMENTS ON mem_manager
                must be an implementation of memory_manager/memory_manager_kernel_abstract.h or
                must be an implementation of memory_manager_global/memory_manager_global_kernel_abstract.h or
                must be an implementation of memory_manager_stateless/memory_manager_stateless_kernel_abstract.h 
                mem_manager::type can be set to anything.

            POINTERS AND REFERENCES TO INTERNAL DATA
                swap() and current() functions do not invalidate pointers 
                or references to internal data.
                All other functions have no such guarantee.

            INITIAL VALUE
                size() == 0    
            
            ENUMERATION ORDER
                The enumerator will iterate over the elements in the stack in the
                same order they would be removed in by repeated calls to pop().
                (e.g. current() would be the first element enumerated)

            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This is a last in first out stack containing items of type T.
                
                e.g. if the stack is {b,c,d,e} then a is put in
                the stack becomes {a,b,c,d,e} and then pop takes a back out
                returning the stack to {b,c,d,e}

                Also note that unless specified otherwise, no member functions
                of this object throw exceptions.
