Looking for best practice in switching libraries

For a library stack that's a mainStack, I would always use:

     stop using stack "my stack"
     delete stack "my stack"

It works regardless of the destroyStack setting of the stack you're 
removing from memory. Guaranteed.

If you want to remove a subStack from memory, you must remove its 
mainStack as well.

DO NOT use "delete stack" on a subStack! It will delete the subStack 
from the mainStack that owns it.
