This is useful e.g. for cleanups of a parent GO structure placed in 3d space that should disappear when the viewstack is destroyed.
• 754e643 Added backwards compatible fix to destroy the entire view stack and not only the last view so that the behavior is the same for the back button listener and for viewstack.SwitchBackToLastView
