       <p>Adding and removing always happens at the “top” of the execution context stack. When an execution context is added, it becomes the topmost (i.e., the running execution context), and when it is later removed, the execution context “below” it becomes topmost again.</p>

With generators, some execution contexts outlive their time on the stack, exist for a while outside the stack, and then later are pushed onto the stack again.</emu-note>
