That's all the request asks for, to depricate "destroyStack" in favor of 
a more accurately descriptive term:

I think we all enjoy having control over whether a stack remains in 
memory or not.  Unfortunately "delete stack" doesn't do that 
consistently, and in some cases can actually delete a stack.

That's a separate issue, addressed here:
