Probably Environment>>destroy should also wipe the instance from
Instances. Nicolas is right that there currently is no way to
unregister an environment. There is not even a method to list the
registered ones.

Currently, you would have to kick an environment out of Instances
manually via inspectors or the like. After #destroy only, it is empty
and disconnected from other environments, but it will not be garbage
collected.

So we could either make Instances weak-valued, or unregister on
destroy. Or both... Note that an emptied and disconnected environment
without behaviors (= currently useless?) will be garbage collected in
the weak-Instances solution.
