I have a tool that builds stacks. The stack name is pulled from a text 
file, and sometimes the name has a comma. We can't change that. When the 
build tool sets the stack name, the engine replaces commas with underscores.

The standalone that runs these stacks tries to go to a stack of the 
original name, pulled from a display list, but it is no longer valid 
because the engine changed it and navigation fails. So I have a bunch of 
fixing to do.

So I'm wondering why stacks can't have commas in their names. Cards can.
