+/**
+ * \file stack.h Which windows cover which other windows
+ *
+ * There are two factors that determine window position.
+ *
+ * One is window->stack_position, which is a unique integer
+ * indicating how windows are ordered with respect to one
+ * another. The ordering here transcends layers; it isn't changed
+ * as the window is moved among layers. This allows us to move several
+ * windows from one layer to another, while preserving the relative
+ * order of the moved windows. Also, it allows us to restore
+ * the stacking order from a saved session.
+ *
+ * However when actually stacking windows on the screen, the
+ * layer overrides the stack_position; windows are first sorted
+ * by layer, then by stack_position within each layer.
