Poof. Not sure what else we could do.

As previously mentioned in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=38797#8, I personally find
it perfectly usable to always use window-local stacks.
But maybe it will be helpful for you to elaborate: what the workflow
would look like. Would it be a parallel set of commands, or simply a
command to... do what?
In my workflow, a new stack is more or less created implicitly by
splitting a window, and discarded by deleting one. The older stacks can
get forgotten, but while the locations are fresh in mind, this behavior
feels logical: it *feels* that I did that chain of navigations in one
window, and another in the other one. And I can jump back and forward in
each one in parallel.
I suppose it doesn't work as well when commands pop new windows a lot,
but luckily M-. doesn't do that too often.
