addition, this can be useful when your program has multiple stacks and
switches between them.

On the SPARC architecture, @code{frame} needs two addresses to
select an arbitrary frame: a frame pointer and a stack pointer.
+
+On the MIPS and Alpha architecture, it needs two addresses: a stack
+pointer and a program counter.
+
+On the 29k architecture, it needs three addresses: a register stack
+pointer, a program counter, and a memory stack pointer.
@c note to future updaters: this is conditioned on a flag
