+A [Stack] widget. This widget does nothing interesting on its own, but
+when used "inside" other layouts, such as [List](crate::widgets::List),
+it will stacks its own children, rather than following the layout of its own parent.
+This internal layouting is just using yakui's default layout algorithm.
+
+Responds with [StackResponse].

+Shorthand:
+```rust
+# let _handle = yakui_widgets::DocTest::start();
+yakui::column(|| {
+    yakui::label("on top");
+    yakui::stack(|| {
+        // this would compose, by being stacked,
+        // to appear like "hello world", barring issues from spacing,
+        // as opposed to continuing the columnar layout setup above.
+        yakui::text(12.0, "hello");
