Well, the reality of the matter is that you can't truly clear
it safely,
though we could definitely get closer. The in operator gives
pointer access to
the internals, and the byKey and byValue may do the same (not
to mention,
opApply), and they could be in progress when you try and clear
out the AA, so
if you cleared it out, all of those would still have to work
(or maybe throw
an Error in the cases where iteration is going on).
This is already the case because of .remove(). Adding a clear
method wouldn't introduce any *new* problems.
