If a PMC isn't stored into some other structure, it has to be registered with
the extension interface function Parrot_register_pmc().
"void Parrot_register_pmc(Parrot_INTERP interpreter, Parrot_PMC pmc)"
Add a reference of the PMC to the interpreters DOD registry. This
prevents PMCs only known to extension
from getting destroyed during DOD runs.
