Two useful things to know about destroyStack: before it will work you must
close all stacks in a particular file; if you send a message to a stack or
have an open socket or other action that is going to cause it to be needed,
it won't get removed. You can manually remove stacks by deleting them - be
careful how you use this command though because if you save changes to any
stack in a file it will remove the deleted stack forever (unless the stack
is a mainStack).
