Don't be silly. That makes the problem _worse_.
We're much better off with a 1% code-size reduction than forcing big
stacks on people. The 4kB stack option is also a good way of saying "if it
works with this, then 8kB is certainly safe".
And embedded people (the ones that might care about 1% code size) are the
ones that would also want smaller stacks even more!
