OK, first, he's not going to use a 'global' variable.  He'll use a 'local'
variable.  That's contained within a file's scope, so no globals are
required.  Perhaps it's better to think about this as 'static'.  Either way.
It seems that what you'd like to do is store the stack itself outside of the
stack code's source file, and pass it by reference.  You could still do
somehting like this, albeit without the pass by reference (think
append/prepend).  It wouldn't be very elegant, but that's what you get for
forcing a design.  But what's the point/difference/advantage?
