When we create a PMC for a subroutine, it'll grab onto the scratchpad
that's in effect, and that scratchpad has a link to its parent, and so on.
When the last pointer to a scratchpad goes away then everything in it gets
cleaned up the next GC run.
We may get a little fancier depending on what's in the closure--we don't
need unreferenced variables if there's no eval in the closure, for example.
