Interesting, but I think I see a slight flaw.  "max_stack_size" is
computed as twice the most deeply nested set of parentheses, but in
fact depends on the maximum depth of the parse tree.

Not that hard to implement, as another operator.  Trivial, in fact,
given the simple version of the code generator you're using.  The
actual implementation is left as an exercise for the student...
