Some sort of machinery with stack-like behavior must be there, to
support recursive calls if nothing else.  But there doesn't have
to be a "stack" in the sense of a fixed, contiguous region of
memory that is used exclusively for state local to each call of a
function.  Other ways of providing function-local state have been
used, and depending on the operating environment they can be
practical, feasible, or even preferable.
