clear() would not subvert the type system.
Oh sure it does!
1. You acknowledged yourself one of my argument a few days ago that if
the class has an immutable member it'll be wiped out. Someone else
somewhere could have a reference to that member, and it's value will
change which could cause bad things...
I forgot that argument again :o). I acknowledge being destroyed (which
is strictly worse than cleared...)
Is that argument valid? An immutable non-static member is still part of
the object state. You shouldn't expect references to the object state
remain valid after the object has been destroyed.
