in order to prevent too much text in the pdd19 document, this ticket for the
"long story", so the pdd can refer to it.

as PIR is in the process of being cleaned up and defined through pdd19, I'd
like to request for some comments on the following.

in early days one could choose different calling conventions.  That is no
longer the case. Is it still necessary to prefix these
directives with "pcc_" (as it is the only calling conventions)?  Other
directives such as .yield and .return also use the PCC, but do
not have this prefix. This difference seems arbitrary and inconsistent
(syntactically spoken).

(".pcc_begin/end" could become ".invoke_begin/end" as ".begin" and ".end" is
not really clear.)
