I agree. Do others?
Well, allowing clear on any class is dangerous for a program's integrity
as a whole, whether you call a destructor or not.
So my opinion is that it should either not exist, if it exists it should
be buried somewhere with other functions that subvert the type system,
clear() would not subvert the type system.
