Description

Bootstrap 5.1 added a stacks feature with options for horizontal or vertical stacks. This could be wrapped up in a layout_stack() function:

layout_stack <- function(
  ...,
  direction = c("horizontal", "vertical"),
  gap = NULL,
  class = NULL,
  style = NULL
) {
  # ...
}

We could maybe also include a stack_spacer() object similar to nav_spacer(). It would potentially set margin auto in the left or top direction based on the stack direction (horizontal, vertical respectively).

Research direction

Start with the Bootstrap 5.3 stacks documentation and compare existing bslib layout helpers, including the mentioned nav_spacer() pattern. The work is complete when layout_stack() supports horizontal and vertical direction, gap, class, and style options; also determine whether stack_spacer() belongs in scope and how its direction-aware margin should behave.
