FWIW I think Jacque's explanation is the better of the two.
I think maybe LiveCode should ship <a copy of> her with every new build of

clone Jacque

end revBuildDictionary

Well, I'm flattered guys, but unfortunately every time I clone myself
the variants lose track of each other and efficiency fragments. Git
might be better. ;)
But I'm not the right choice anyway because I don't know some of this
myself -- I have seen cases where the defaultstack doesn't follow the
rule, or uses some criteria I don't understand, where "go" doesn't set
the defaultstack automatically. I haven't yet pinned down a recipe.
Usually I just set it by script and move on.
I think that was the case with Graham's stack too. Some quirky rule is
interfering, or else it's a bug. If so, it's been there a long time.
It would be great if someone could look at the source code and give us a
list of how the engine determines the defaultstack. Then I could write
it down, wait until everyone else forgets about it, and then post it
like I know everything...
