I don't think it's feasible to actually make major changes in the way
the defaultStack works, but possibly a new property could be designed
that acts in such a way that workarounds like this aren't normally
needed. Setting and re-setting the defaultStack to make sure it's right
is almost as annoying as specifying the stack every time you refer to an
object (which I sometimes do anyway, for fear of the defaultStack
changing from under me).

If it were being designed from scratch, what would the ideal behavior be
for a targetStack property? Should it remain unchanged while a script is
running (unless set explicitly)?

What about a "lock defaultstack" command?
