tt(POPCOUNTER) is used to remove the topmost counter from the counter stack. 
The values of counters may be pushed on a stack using
lref(PUSHCOUNTER)(PUSHCOUNTER). To remove the topmost element of a counter's
stack tt(POPCOUNTER) is available. tt(POPCOUNTER) expects one argument: the
name of the counter to pop. The previously pushed value then becomes the new
value of the counter. A counter's value may be popped after defining it,
whereafter the stack is empty, but the counter will still be defined. In
that case, using the counter's value is considered an error. 

    Examples:
        verb(
    DEFINECOUNTER(YEAR)(1950)
    POPCOUNTER(YEAR)
    COMMENT(YEAR now has an undefined value)
        )
    See also section ref(COUNTERS).
