We have not tried it, as we have a working (well, on decent OSs)
solution.

I have thought about doing extra loads in code that use stack caching
in order to produce an exception near the place of the logical
underflow; one could also do it with branches, but I expect that loads
are cheaper.  If you have an analytic compiler, you probably can
optimize many of the extra loads away.
