   While looking at removing the C<saveall> and C<restoreall> ops, I
found this old queens.pasm example which uses stack calling.  Because it
is just the output of the Jako compiler (from mid-2004), it has no
comments and is difficult to follow, which is poor for an example.
Furthermore, the current Jako compiler emits PIR that is somewhat more
readable (but still uncommented), and runs almost 5x faster.

   So queens.pasm is now a good example of how *not* to write PASM, and
I think it should be deleted.  Any objections?
