As all the errors in a chain are in the same pool, clearing the root cause or
the complete chain is really the same thing
But it is probably safer to document it this way... as it is certainly wrong to
clear both chains.
In most cases it is safer to check for an error somewhere in the chain as what
is returned as the root cause (the most inner error) is not really the error
that caused the error when error chains are composed. Perhaps we should also
extend the documentation to explain this bit.
