How to print the directory stack in powershell?

I want to print the recently visited directory stack to save it to a file for later retrieval. According to this powershell documentation for Get-Location, it should be possible with:

Get-Location -Stack

But that only seem to work if you have previously done a Push-Location, which I can't be bothered with. Because I know Powershell 7+ keep track of your stack without this. So I want to access the internal directory stack and print it out without having to use additional commands to save location every time I do a cd.

How can I print the full internal directory stack using Powershell?

Some of the code for the internal stack seem to be in SessionState.cs. There you will also notice the way too small stack size: locationHistoryLimit = 20;. It would be great to be able to change this, as a starter.
