There's currently no way to delete a global or a lexical.

<chip> mdiep: you should be able to delete a global and (in the
current system) a lexical, though a different way
<chip> mdiep: so that'd be a bug

Globals:

.local pmc ns
.include "interpinfo.pasm"
ns = interpinfo .INTERPINFO_NAMESPACE_ROOT
delete ns["foo"]

(untested - see also t/pmc/namespace.t)

Lexcials:

.local pmc pad
pad = peek_pad
delete pad["foo"]

(see also t/pmc/scratchpad.t)
