In CPS VM there is no difference between "call" and "return". However
we have explicit C<returncc> so we can attach "list of pmcs to
destroy" to CURRENT_CONTEXT and implicitly destroy them. Only one
problem - if someone attach "live" PMC from outer context to "destroy
list" we will crash. Epically.
