Let's add the following, just to make the stack more useful:

g_stack_shift()			/* like pop(), only on the other end */
g_stack_unshift()       /* like push(), only on the other end */

The problem is that these make the implementation more difficult.
If people don't want to add them to g_stack, that's not a big deal.

I'll be putting them in my bucketized array library.  (which should
be a nice comprimise between GList and GArray).
