Using a stack as a container is currently a one-way street:  you can load a
file or URL and go to the variable containing the data as a stack, but you
cannot currently do container operations like MD5 on a stack, only a stack
file.

In other words, you can use a container as a stack (if it contains valid
stack data of course) but you can't use a stack as a container.

If you want to Bugzilla a request to be able to go both ways I'd vote for
it.
