663	src/pmc.c:pmc_free() is unused	whiteknight		"The function pmc_free() in src/pmc.c is currently unused. Besides that, I don't think it does the right thing anyway: it doesnt call the destroy VTABLE for types that need it before returning the header to the GC.

In general, I don't think we should have any cases where PMCs are explicitly freed, the GC should be handling that so we don't end up with cases where things are pointing to a PMC that has been recycled. I suggest we delete this function outright. Since it isn't used from anywhere and since it doesn't work anyway (so nobody should be relying on it) I don't know if we need a deprecation cycle for it."	bug	closed	normal	1.3	none	1.1.0	medium	fixed
