       Notcurses  does  not  export  the  ncpile  type,  nor any functionality that uses it directly.  Piles are
       nonetheless an important concept in Notcurses.  Functions which operate on piles (e.g.   ncpile_render(3)
       are invoked with any ncplane within that pile.

       Piles  are  collections  of  ncplanes,  independent  from  one another for purposes of rendering and also
       thread-safety.  While only one pile can be rasterized (written to the display) at a time, arbitrary  con‐
       current  actions can be safely performed on distinct piles.  Piles do not compose: rasterizing a pile de‐
       stroys any overlapping material.

       A pile is created in one of three ways:

       • ncpile_create(3) is called,

       • ncvisual_blit(3) is called with a NULL target plane n, or

       • ncplane_reparent(3) is called with n equal to newparent, and n is not already a root plane.

       A pile is destroyed whenever its last ncplane is destroyed, or reparented into some other pile.

       The planes of a pile are totally ordered along the z-axis.  ncpile_top and ncpile_bottom return the  top‐
       most  and  bottommost  planes,  respectively,  of  the pile containing their argument.  notcurses_top and
       notcurses_bottom do the same for the standard pile.
