Why does PMG=0 have to be the clean ID?
I am wondering about the use cases here. When a new CLOSID needs to be allocated,
would it not be useful to instead have a utility that returns the "cleanest" CLOSID?
Instead of picking an available CLOSID and then always have to check if it is
"dirty or not", why not have a utility that picks the CLOSID with the most
available PMGs?
