    Define the variable stack class.

    An object of this class can be used to push variable name/variable value
    pairs which may be popped off the stack at a later time.  The most obvious
    use for this is for saving variables that are to be restored later.

    Example code:

    save_stack = var_stack('save_stack')
    var1 = "johnson"
    save_stack.push(var1)
    var1 = "smith"
    ...
    var1 = save_stack.pop('var1')
    # var1 has now been restored to the value "johnson".


    Example use:

    var1 = "mike"
    save_stack.push(var1)
    var1 = "james"
    save_stack.push(var1)
    save_stack.print_obj()

    # The print-out of the object would then look like this:

    save_stack:
      stack_dict:
        [var1]:
          [var1][0]:  mike
          [var1][1]:  james

    # Continuing with this code...

    var1 = save_stack.pop('var1')
    save_stack.print_obj()

    # The print-out of the object would then look like this:

    save_stack:
      stack_dict:
        [var1]:
          [var1][0]:  mike
