Uh, no. It's an object. A stack is LIFO, for one thing.

It's a stack only in the sense that if you pass a bunch of parameters to a 
function, the function gets a pointer to where they are contiguous in memory 
when you invoke the function, not unlike invoking a member method.

Yah. It's handy for some things, like where OO is natural. It can be 
annoying to try to squeeze functional stuff (like, say, the relational 
model) into an OO framework. Most of my code is still procedural, and most 
OO code I see (in things like web page servers etc) really doesn't need to 
be OO anyway.
