Stack effects
For·the next review of the Propeller Manual:
Could you please include the amount of stack space required for each of the spin functions and operators?
That would make for one less bit of "magic" when writing spin code.

I think the manual would also benefit from best/worst number of clock cycles.
That way a programmer can get a feel for which operations can be expected to be "expensive" both time- and stack-wise. A cheaper alternative is often available, but getting a feel for what will and wont be expensive is a real guessing game at the moment.
