Stacked conda activation not supported (should it be?) #27

Unless the user sets a global option, this is not supported. Staged environments are activated without --stack.

Do we want to support this, or do we want to encourage Conda environments to be self-contained? Self containment is good for reproducibility, and when it comes to conda-stage, it means more things being staged to local disk.

If we support stacking, can one stack staged environments? This basically means supporting staging of the base environment (#10).
