Now I get it! The problem is that I have spent most of my career with the
Intel architecture, where the paucity of registers preclude any extensive
use of registers for parameter passing. Of course, passing parameters by
registers avoids all of these issues, since nothing is pushed onto or popped
off the stack.

Thanks for the clarification.
