Suggestions for CardsPlugin: vertical and unique parameters

[Dan]

After using this plugin for a while, I'd like to suggest the following two additional features/parameters:

• unique: A value, such as ticket number, to be appended to the stack names to make them unique among names used elsewhere.
• vertical: Create the card stacks on top of one another instead of next to one another.

These would be useful for the following:

When creating card stacks in tickets, for instance, each card stack must have a unique name for each ticket. You can either change each name, or ... Maybe it's easier to add a special parameter, which would be something like the ticket number. Then you only have to type it once and it saves on typing and possible errors. I was thinking maybe the ticket number could be automatically detected but due to other types of inclusion (e.g. showing parent or child ticket descriptions) that is probably not practical.

Additionally, sometimes I'd like to have more width for the stacks. In that case, I think having the card stacks arranged vertically would be nice.

I have attached a patch for your review/comment.

Looks reasonable. The parameter name unique sounds not quite right to me. I'd maybe use prefix.
