You can. But wouldn't you prefer just pushing something on the stack?

I don't know, it sort of bugs me and fascinates me that there isn't a 
way to do this easily. The stack is pretty much free to use, adding 
something to some allocated tree inside the GC (and then later removing 
it) isn't.

The use cases are exceedingly small though...
