This is my preference as well -- done in r26670.
This should make things much simpler for NQP code . . .

Do you remember the discussion two years ago [1] about eliminating the
user stack in favor of arrays? Chip made the following comment [2]:

Is there any other client of the user stack that can't be easily
replaced by some kind of *Array? It'd be nice to lop off such a
low-value feature.
The response (including yours) was generally in favor of chucking this
vestige of 1960's computer architecture, but nobody took up the mantle.
What is the current thinking on this?
