class LocalStack(object):

    """This class works similar to a :class:`Local` but keeps a stack
    of objects instead.  This is best explained with an example::

        >>> ls = LocalStack()
        >>> ls.push(42)
        >>> ls.top
        42
        >>> ls.push(23)
        >>> ls.top
        23
        >>> ls.pop()
        23
        >>> ls.top
        42

    They can be force released by using a :class:`LocalManager` or with
    the :func:`release_local` function but the correct way is to pop the
    item from the stack after using.  When the stack is empty it will
    no longer be bound to the current context (and as such released).

    By calling the stack without arguments it returns a proxy that resolves to
    the topmost item on the stack.
