Comment (by bgamari):

 I see the issue with `total_allocations`. If you are hesitant to set a
 default heap limit I certainly won't disagree. It's not worth exposing
 potential bugs just to disable the stack limit. A larger default stack
 limit, on the other hand, is quite reasonable and accomplishes nearly all
 of what I initially set out to do.
