After a thorough discussion at the Parrot BOF at Paris, we got a
solution for timely destruction vs trace system areas and bogus objects.
To clean up on scope exit (and after a Perl C<undef> ins), the HL emits
a C<sweep 0> opcode. This doesn't do C<trace_system_areas> anymore,
because there is nothing unanchored and alive beyond the runloop's stack.
A DOD run triggered from any resources lackage still does trace the
system areas, so infant mortality shouldn't be an issue either (at least
when e.g. processor registers are scanned correctly too).
s. also e.g. "Timely destruction and "TRACE_SYSTEM_AREAS" in the
summary, http://xrl.us/l6c and various bug reports WRT io_2.
