What would be the benefit of such a command besides syntax?

Only a small convenience, nothing big. I am used to typing "make
cleann" when I want to make sure that I am starting from a clean
slate. I also have my shell configured so that it warns me when I type
rm -rf *. I generally appreciate the warning but I want to make an
exception for the build directory.

cd ..
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build

...? ;-)

(If your build directories tend to be in the same place, you could easily write a shell function to do this, to save typing.)
